Experimental research of separation efficiency on steam-water separator with corrugated plates

To increase the separating efficiency of corrugated plate separator and optimize the design, and separation efficiency experiment of cold state in steam-water separator with corrugated plates is carried out in this paper. Experimental data of the separating efficiency and pressure reduction of different types of corrugated plates are compared, which indicates that the separating efficiency of double hook plate is the biggest. The average droplet diameter is estimated by stokes law and accorded with other researchers' experimental concludes. The influence on dimensionless coefficients of inlet velocity is analyzed. The experimental relation of separation efficiency benefiting the experiments is obtained. (authors)
