Abstract
A moisture separator 100 includes a plurality of flat frame plates 102 disposed parallel to each other to define a plurality of zigzag passages 101 between the frame plates 102, side walls facing the upstream side of the passages 101 defining entrance openings 120a and 122a of droplet collecting pockets 120 and 122.
Claims11
A moisture separator with a plurality of frame plates disposed parallel to each other to define a plurality of zigzag passages, wherein the frame plates comprise flat plate members;
- the moisture separator comprising droplet collecting pockets having entrance openings disposed in side wall portions of the zigzag passages between, seeing from the upstream side of the passages, roots swelling outwardly relative to the passage and apexes swelling inwardly relative to the passage;
- and
- the droplet collecting pocket including first droplet collecting pockets, disposed at the upstream side of the passages, for collecting relatively large droplets, and second droplet collecting pockets, disposed at the downstream side of the passages, for collecting relatively small droplets.
A moisture separator with a plurality of frame plates disposed parallel to each other to define a plurality of zigzag passages, wherein the frame plates comprise flat plate members;
- the moisture separator comprising a plurality of droplet collecting pockets having entrance openings disposed in side wall portions of the zigzag passages between, seeing from the upstream side of the passages, roots swelling outwardly relative to the passage and apexes swelling inwardly relative to the passage;
- and
- the entrance openings of all the droplet collecting pocket being disposed adjacent the apexes in the side wall portions between the roots swelling outwardly relative to the passage and the apexes swelling inwardly relative to the passage.
A moisture separator with a plurality of frame plates disposed parallel to each other and a plurality of arcuate sections attached to the frame plates to define a plurality of serpentine passages, wherein the frame plates comprise flat plate members;
- the moisture separator comprising a plurality of droplet collecting pockets having entrance openings disposed in side wall portions of the serpentine passages between, seeing from the upstream side of the passages, roots swelling outwardly relative to the passage and apexes swelling inwardly relative to the passage.
