Type 60-I and 70-I Separator Elements
Wright-Austin Type 60-I and 70-I separator elements are for customers who wish to fabricate their own vessels. The patented designs are so efficient that we routinely supply these internal elements to other manufacturers of gas/liquid separators.
Available in carbon steel, stainless steel or exotic alloys. The compact design requires no maintenance — there are no movable or serviceable parts and the elements are self-cleaning by design.
As with all Wright-Austin separators, these elements remove 99% of entrained droplets and particulate greater than 10 microns.
Two Designs
- Type 60-I — for up-flow exit path
- Type 70-I — for down-flow exit path
The elements create a controlled centrifugal flow that forces entrained droplets and particles to the outer walls, then drains via an integral drain pipe. We can customize drain size, orientation and length to suit your requirements.
Sizing Guidelines
Size internal separation elements using only 65% of the equivalent air or steam flow from the capacity charts:
- Air capacity chart
- Steam capacity chart
- Correction factors and formulas (for industrial gases)
To operate effectively, the separation element must be located a minimum of 1 foot above the liquid surface plus the pressure drop across the element (in inches of water).
