Overview
A carbon steel moisture separator designed to remove entrained water particles from saturated steam, converting it to dry steam for downstream process equipment. Works in tandem with a steam trap that collects and discharges the separated condensate. Improves thermal efficiency of steam-driven machinery by eliminating the performance losses caused by wet steam. Supplied, sized and serviced for steam systems across Nepal.
Features & Benefits
- Converts saturated steam to dry steam at the point of use, which directly recovers thermal efficiency lost when wet steam enters turbines, heat exchangers, or process equipment.
- Removing entrained moisture prevents water hammer in steam lines, which is one of the leading causes of pipeline fitting failures and valve seat erosion in steam distribution systems.
- Dry steam carries more usable latent heat per kilogram than wet steam, so downstream equipment achieves a higher heat transfer rate without increasing boiler output or fuel consumption.
- Flanged end connection across the full 25mm to 200mm size range integrates directly into standard piping systems and allows removal for inspection without cutting the line.
- Carbon steel construction handles the pressure and temperature conditions typical of industrial steam systems while keeping material cost low compared to stainless alternatives.
- Pairing with a steam trap for condensate discharge keeps the separator self-draining and prevents re-entrainment of separated water back into the steam flow.
