The steam separation system is the heart of the system being installed inside the evaporation column directly in contact with the pure steam produced by the separation of the water droplets from the pure steam.
ELETTRACQUA new pure steam generators and distillation units are all equipped of cyclone steam separation systems instead of the demister traditionally used for this purpose.
Two basic principles are involved in the steam separation by Cyclon System:
High Steam Speed creating centrifugal forces that separate any entrained water particles and throw them to the outer wall of separator to drain.
Double 180 turns: the pure steam flow direction is forced to double 180° turns inducing gravity separation of larger water droplets
The pharmaceutical customers pay lots attention to the materials and surface finishing, the cyclone system, that is the heart of the system is the only device designed to meet all the material and finishing requirements, including ferrite tests. The cyclone separation system for its nature is a fully hygienic device.
