Abstract
The following disclosure related to gas-liquid separation in a two-phase flow. More specifically, the following disclosure relates to passive gas-liquid separation of a two-phase flow in an outlet manifold that combines an outlet flow from a plurality of electrolytic cells or an electrolytic cell stack where performance may be dependent on shape of a conduit conveying the two-phase flow.
Claims7
A gas-liquid separator apparatus comprising:
- an inlet configured to receive a first portion of a two-phase flow, the first portion flowing through a center of a conduit;
- a converging channel fluidly coupled to the inlet and configured to receive the first portion of the two-phase flow;
- a first outlet fluidly coupled to the inlet and the converging channel and configured to receive the first portion of the two-phase flow;
- a collector plate configured to receive a second portion of the two-phase flow, the second portion flowing at an outside of the conduit and not flowing through the inlet;
- and
- a second outlet fluidly coupled to the collector plate and configured to receive the second portion of the two-phase flow.
