Abstract
A high-speed water separator comprising a multiplicity of spaced, hollow deflection vanes located in the change of direction plane of a pipe elbow. The suction openings present on the concave vane side are holes located in rows along the vane, these holes being provided with a cover strip extending over the complete row. There is a distance between the cover strip and the vane surface in the plane of the openings and upstream of the openings. Downstream of the openings, the cover strip is connected with the vane surface so as to be water-tight. A multiplicity of side gaps are located in the side walls directly above the concave vane side at the connecting points of the deflection vanes with the side walls.
Claims5
A high-speed separator in a steam turbine installation, consisting substantially of a pipe elbow located between an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, which pipe elbow has a number of spaced hollow deflecion vanes in its change of direction plane, which have openings on their concave side and whose hollow blade center is connected with an intermediate space surrounding the pipe elbows, which intermediate space is connected to a lower-pressure zone in the installation, wherein the opening are holes arranged in rows and having a cover strip extending over the whole row, there being a distance between this cover strip and the vane surface in the plane of the openings and upstream of the openings and the cover strip.
