FILTRATION VESSEL AND METHOD FOR ROTARY GAS COMPRESSOR SYSTEM

A filtration vessel is shown for use with a rotary screw compressor which receives a compressed liquid/gas mixture from the compressor. The vessel utilizes a first stage vortex knockout region to remove bulk liquids through a circular motion which imposes centrifugal forces on the gas and liquid mix...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A filtration vessel is shown for use with a rotary screw compressor which receives a compressed liquid/gas mixture from the compressor. The vessel utilizes a first stage vortex knockout region to remove bulk liquids through a circular motion which imposes centrifugal forces on the gas and liquid mixture. A coalescer region located above the vortex knockout region receive s the relatively lighter fluids and separates any remaining entrained liquids from the fluids. The discharge from the filtration unit is an essentially liquid free compressed gas. The liquid discharge, in the case of lube oil ca n be recirculated to the compressor for another cycle.
