US 2026/0273446 A1 · COALESCING SEPARATOR INSERT, COALESCING SEPARATOR, AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING A COALESCING SEPARATOR INSERT

Abstract

A coalescing separator insert for separating liquid from a gas flow includes a first coalescing separator body with a first coalescing separator medium arranged around a support tube supporting the first coalescing separator body and a second coalescing separator body with a second coalescing separator medium arranged concentrically in a gas flow direction downstream of the first coalescing separator body. The second coalescing separator medium spaced apart radially from the at least one first coalescing separator body by a drainage space includes at least two coalescing separator medium layers arranged concentrically to the first coalescing separator body around a second support tube supporting the second coalescing separator body. The coalescing separator medium layers each have at least two separate coalescing separator medium layer elements connected to each other at overlapping lateral end regions. A coalescing separator with the coalescing separator insert and a method of manufacturing the coalescing separator insert.

Dependent claims

A coalescing separator insert for separating liquid from a gas flow that flows through the coalescing separator insert from an exterior to an interior of the coalescing separator insert or from the interior to the exterior of the coalescing separator insert, the coalescing separator insert comprising:

at least one first coalescing separator body comprising at least one first coalescing separator medium configured to separate liquid from the gas flow by coalescence;
an air-permeable, cylindrical first support tube configured to support the at least one first coalescing separator body, wherein the at least one first coalescing separator medium is arranged around the air-permeable, cylindrical first support tube;
at least one second coalescing separator body comprising at least one second coalescing separator medium configured to separate liquid from the gas flow by coalescence, wherein the at least one second coalescing separator medium is arranged downstream of the at least one first coalescing separator body in a flow direction of the gas flow and is arranged concentrically to the at least one first coalescing separator body;
wherein the at least one second coalescing separator medium is spaced apart radially from the at least one first coalescing separator body by a drainage space;
wherein the at least one second coalescing separator medium comprises at least two coalescing separator medium layers arranged concentrically in relation to the at least one first coalescing separator body.

2 more elements

A method of manufacturing a coalescing separator insert for cleaning a gas flow that flows through the coalescing separator insert from an exterior to an interior of the coalescing separator insert or from the interior to the exterior of the coalescing separator insert, the method comprising:

providing a first coalescing separator body by arranging at least one first coalescing separator medium around an air-permeable, cylindrical first support tube configured to support the first coalescing separator body;
providing a second coalescing separator body by arranging at least two coalescing separator medium layers of at least one second coalescing separator medium concentrically in relation to the first coalescing separator body, respectively;
arranging the second coalescing separator body concentrically in relation to the first coalescing separator body such that the second coalescing separator body is radially spaced apart by a drainage space from the first coalescing separator body.
