Advancing reciprocating compressors: Amin Almasi discusses reciprocating compressor technologies for pipeline compression stations

摘要

Inlet deflector (or diverter) is used at the inlet nozzle to force incoming feed to change direction Large liquid droplets will not change direction as easily as a gas, and will be displaced here. This device uses the momentum difference between gas and liquid droplets. The arrangement is effective to treat a two-phase feed containing both gas and liquid.
