Atlas Copco's liquid separators provide protection from condensate, aerosols and liquid droplets on the suction side of vacuum pumps.
Liquid ring separators will not remove condensate vapor from the gas stream when in the vapor phase. These separators are fitted with a demister insert and/or cyclonic separation mechanism, located above where the separated liquid is held.
The vessel provides visual and/or electronic liquid level monitoring so that you can easily identify when the liquid needs draining off.
Normally, vacuum systems must be stopped and vented to drain the liquid from the vessel. However, it is possible to configure separators so that the accumulated liquid can be drained without interrupting the process.
Cyclone separators are mechanical separators for extracting mist and droplets from the gas streams. They are placed upstream of the vacuum pump to prevent liquids finding their way into the pump.
They have a level indicator and are optionally available with a connection for a level switch.
