Input the lowest pressure for which you want to receive maximum removal efficiency.

If given in PSIA, subtract 14.7 and enter in PSIG

TOTAL WEIGHT FLOW (STEAM AND LIQUID)

OPTIONAL:
Enter if known, otherwise assume 95%

For all separators except Receiver Style and based upon approximate inlet ID (inches) Standard Separator Size:

If within 0.1 to the next standard size, consider going up another full size

For receiver style separators, due to extra complexity internally they are always a little larger for a given flow Receiver Separator Size:

Input a separator size equal to or larger than the calculated size required to achieve the required removal rate based upon the style/efficiency. It is common to oversize the body and attach smaller connections to match piping to handle higher liquid loads. CHOSEN SIZE:

Enter the separator size to determine performance data

Maximum capacity for chosen size based upon design criteria above

Differential pressure for the maximum capacity ±0.2 Accurate, most accurate from 14.7 to 600 PSIa

Calculated differential pressure based design criteria above

Used to properly size drain trap and to ensure the volume of entrained droplets anticipated can be accommodated by the chosen separator size CONDENSATE REMOVAL RATE BY SEPARATOR DESIGN

Type 31L/L1 for horizontal flow or vertical down
5%

Type 32L/L2 for vertical up-flow 10%

L Series separators combining horizontal and vertical flow paths 20%

Type T separators 40%

Type TS separators 60%

Receiver style separators 90%
