MSEP-Series
Mainteno-MSEP
Moisture separator combined with a strainer, delivering clean and dry steam to the equipment behind it.
Product overview
One body that both dries and cleans the steam. The separator removes entrained moisture from the flow while the integral strainer holds back scale and pipe debris, so the equipment downstream sees steam fit for heat transfer.
The problem it solves
Wet steam carries water droplets that do no heating work but do erode valve seats and trim. Combined with pipe scale, the result is poor heat transfer blamed on the equipment, and control valves that fail early for no obvious reason.
Working principle
Steam entering the body is forced to change direction around internal baffles. Water droplets, having more mass than the vapour, fail to follow the turn and are thrown out of the stream to the collection space, from where they are drained through a trap. The screen element removes solid debris from the dried steam before it leaves.
