I. Product Introduction

Coalescing separator: Also known as oil-water filter separator or jet fuel filter separator. Integrating filtration and dehydration, it can not only filter out various tiny particles in the medium, but also effectively remove water, fibers and suspended solids in the medium. It is an ideal oil purification equipment and is widely applicable to various fine chemical raw materials that need purification.

II. Working Process

  1. Entry of Mixed Fluids:The mixed fluid containing dispersed liquid phases (such as water in oil or oil in water) and impurities enters the separator through the inlet.

  2. Coalescence Process:The mixed fluid first passes through the coalescing filter element. Tiny dispersed droplets collide and adsorb on the surface of the filter element, gradually coalescing into larger droplets, while solid impurities are intercepted on the filter element surface.

  3. Gravitational Settling:The coalesced large droplets settle downward to the settling zone at the bottom of the device under the action of gravity.

  4. Separation and Discharge:The continuous - phase fluid (such as pure oil or water) after settling flows out from the outlet of the device; the separated dispersed - phase liquid (such as waste water or waste oil) and impurities are discharged from the bottom .

VI. FAQ

  1. What is the maintenance cycle of the coalescing separator?
    The filter element replacement cycle is usually 1 - 2 years, depending on the impurity content of the fluid. It is recommended to check the device's pressure difference and liquid - level status quarterly.

  2. Can it handle high - viscosity emulsions?
    Medium - to low - viscosity emulsions can be processed by selecting special coalescing materials and adjusting the internal structure. High - viscosity conditions require customized solutions based on actual situations.

  3. What are the precautions for equipment installation?
    During installation, ensure the equipment is placed horizontally and the inlet - outlet directions are correct. Leave enough space in the front and rear for easy filter element replacement and maintenance. Also, regularly check the sealing components to prevent leakage.
