VERTICAL GAS-LIQUID SEPARATOR TANGENTIAL INLET NOZZLE

VERTICAL GAS-LIQUID SEPARATOR TANGENTIAL INLET NOZZLE

(OP)
Hello,

Do we need a wear plate inside a separator when using a tangential inlet ? if yes, where to install it with respect to the inlet ? since the flow pattern is along the perimeter and not "against" the separator wall may be the wear plate is not required.
Please advise your opinion, the fluid is air with a small amount of water.

regards,
roker

RE: VERTICAL GAS-LIQUID SEPARATOR TANGENTIAL INLET NOZZLE

The wear plate is suppose to take up the wear (erosion) generated by the high velocity air flow with entrained water droplets. Check your flow for mass velocity, if ρV2 is above 2000 kg/ms2, you need that wear plate, welded inside to the shell. Otherwise don't bother.
Cheers,
