Blowdown Separators

Precision Boilers' blowdown separators are used to temper high pressure boiler water to an acceptable drain temperature.  They are used where space constraints preclude the use of blowdown tanks.

The tangential inlet creates cyclonic action which allows rapid controlled pressure drop and the subsequent separation of liquid and sludge from flash steam.  The steam escapes through the vent, which is sized to limit vessel pressure to 5 PSI, and the liquid/sludge mixture falls to the drain where it is either discharged directly or is further cooled via an optional Precision Boilers aftercooler to an acceptable discharge drain temperature, which is usually less than 140° F.
