Type T and ST Cast Gas Liquid Separator

Moisture laden gas enters the inlet of the separator where it is deflected in a centrifugal downward motion. The entrained solids and moisture droplets are separated out by a reduction in velocity. Separated liquid and solids fall into a reservoir where Eaton’s exclusive Vortex Containment Plate (VCP) ensures that they cannot be re-entrained. The clean, dry flow is then directed to the outlet by the Vortex Containment Plate. The VCP eliminates the need for expensive, delicate baffles used in ordinary separators.

Maintenance and Spare Parts
Eaton separators have no moving parts. All components are either bolted or welded into place. Therefore parts lists are not available. The separators are bolted, threaded, or welded into the lines. They are self-cleaning, and do not need lubrication or maintenance. For this reason, lubricating, operating and maintenance manuals are not available.

For more specialized applications the Type T is available as the Type ST with an integral trap as part of its design. The trap mechanism is a foolproof design which automatically ejects the condensate, without loss of line pressure, when it reaches a predetermined level. The Type ST is compact, easily installed and can be supported by the line. Removal of the bottom flange releases the trap mechanism for inspection. The internal trap components are rustproof stainless steel and include a non-magnetic 18-8 stainless steel valve and seat. For applications below freezing the Type ST Separator can be ordered as the Type STH that includes a heater for the trap. The heater is rated at 50W and is for 110 volt service. The self-limiting heating element will keep fluid above freezing and does not add to the line temperature. The heater can be easily removed for inspection.

Moisture laden gas enters the inlet of the separator where it is deflected by Eaton’s unique Cenpellar™ into a centrifugal motion. The entrained solids and moisture droplets are separated out by a reduction in velocity. Separated liquid and solids fall into the separators integral drain trap where Eaton’s exclusive Vortex Containment Plate (VCP) ensures that they cannot be re-entrained. The VCP is constructed with a series of carefully placed rings and plates that shield the separated liquid from the vortex action within the separator to prevent re-entrainment . The VCP also helps direct the liquid to the drain trap while at the same time moves the clean, dry gas to the separator outlet. With Eaton’s exclusive VCP the need for expensive, delicate baffles that are used in ordinary separators is eliminated.
