Gravity separator fundamentals and design.

Author(s) : JEKEL T., REINDL D. T., FISHER J. M.

Summary

The objective of the paper is to review the literature on the principles governing gravity-driven separation of liquid-vapour mixtures, review design methods for separators, and develop a model that predicts separator performance given operating requirements (i.e. size or velocity, and design droplet size) subject to design constraints. The model presented can serve as a basis to establish a fundamentals-based new design method for gravity separators. It is not the purpose of the paper to develop or recommend design guidelines; rather, it is a literature search and analysis to parallel existing design guidelines to ammonia.
