Centrifugal Separators

Why Use A Centrifugal Separator?

The aftercooler in a compressed air system performs two basic functions: (1)Lowers the compressed air or gas temperature (2) Condenses water vapor. It isthis condensed water which can cause system problems. The most effective(99%+at rated flows) method of removing condensed water from a system is thecentrifugal type separator.

The Separation Process:

The entering moisture laden air is forced to pass through directional impellarswhich spin the air around the separator body. Droplets of water are impinged onthe separator wall by centrifugal force. Maximum velocity is reached near thebottom of the lower chamber where a "Vortex" is formed. The water dropletscoagulate and drain from the separator while the air travels up through the"Vortex" at a reduced velocity and exits the separator.

Design Benefits:

The Hiross centrifugal separators offer several outstanding features withcapacities to 25,000 scfm.

a) High separation efficiency

b) Low pressure drop

c) Minimum 200 psi rating as standard

Cast Separators: (SOI to S03)

Designed in three (3) sizes with capacities up to 550 SCFM, @ 100psig, thesecast aluminum separators feature a unique patented locking (Quick Loc™)system whicheliminates any possibility ofopening the separator while it isunderpressure; yet permits dismantling, without tools, for inspection and cleaningwhen the system isshut downformaintenance. Acomputer designedcentrifugeand anti re-entrainment baffle are both removable for inspection and cleaning.Air and drain connections are all NPT. Standard pressure rating is 230 psig.

For Compressed Air Systems

Fabricated Separators: (S04 to S15):

These units are offered in two configurations: Horizontal or pipeline type,where the inlet and outlet connections are horizontal to the body; Verticalwhere the inlet connection is vertical, entering the top of the separator. Bothconfigurations are fabricated from heavy gauge steel providing dependableoperation and a long service life. The centrifuge is cast aluminum and welded inplace ensuring no by-pass. All units are constructed in compliance with ASMEcodes of practice. Standard units are rated at 200 psig working pressure with oneinch NPT drain connection. Consult factory for higher pressures and specialmaterials. Capacity in this range is 900 scfm to 25,000 scfm @ 100 psig.

Performance:

Hiross separators offer an extremely high efficient condensate removal topressure drop ratio. At rated capacity, the Hiross units will remove more than99%of the moisture condensed. Pressure drops can be found in the chart below.
