Referring to the drawings in detail and in parti- ~
cular to FIGURE 1, reference character 10 generally indicates ~:
a horizontal vapor-liquid separator comprising a housing 12 having an elongated chamber 14 therein for the collection of 20 1 entrained liquid in a manner as will be hereinafter set forth.
The heads 16 of the housing 12 as shown in FIGURE 1 are of an elliptical configuration for pressure service, althouqh the actual configuration thereof plays no~significant role in the invention. ; t~
An inlet tubing 18 extends through a central port 19 provided in left-hand head 16 of the housing 12 a~ viewed in FIGURE 1 and into the chamber 14. A spiral vane 20 is secured in any suitable manner to the inner periphery of thc :' ~'`' ' -4- ~.ir 11360~1 inlet tubing ~8 f~r impa~ting a helica~ flow pattern to any flow stream moving therethrough. As shown in FIGURE 2I the inner periphery of the downstream end 22 of inlet tubing 18 is pre~erably beveled outwardly~ to form a generally frusto-conical inner facing.
A pipe 24 is disposed in the chamber 14 in substantial coaxial alignment with the inlet tubing 18, and has one end thereof swaged inwardly as shown at 26 to form a generally ~rusto-conical outer facing around an orifice of diameter less than the diameter of the pipe. The inner periphery of the opposite end of the pipe 24 is beveled outwardly as shown at 29 to form a generally frusto-conical inner facing. The leading edge of the orifice in the swaged end 26 of pipe 24 is inserted in the beveled end or inner facing 22 of inlet tubing 18 but spaced apart therefrom to form an annular orifice 30 flaring outwardly in a downstream direction. The tubing 18 and the pipe 24 are secured in spaced but aligned relationship by spacer elements 32 which span the orifice 30 and are secured between the inlet tubing 18 and pipe 24 in any suitable manner (not shown). The pipe 24 is preferably concentrically disposed with-in the housing 12 and may be supported therein by numerous means; but as shown in FIGURE 1, the pipe 24 is supported by a plurality of struts 34 secured between the outer periphery of the pipe and the inner periphery of the housing 12.
A pair of pipes 36 and 38, substantially idential to pipe 24, is coaxially aligned behind pipe 24 in spaced swage-to-bevel sequence by means of spacer elements 32 to provide additional orifices 40 and 42 which are substantially identical to the orifice 30. Similarly to pipe ~4, the pipes 36 and 38 ~re p~eferably supported in the ~hamber 14 by struts 34 attached to the inner periphery of the housing wall 12.

A baffle 44, having an lnwardly directed ~ub-stantially conical face 43, is coaxially aligned w~th pipe 38 and spaced apart from the beYeled end 29 thereof ~t by means of axially extending circumferentially spaced rib members 46 secured between pipe 38 and the baffle base 41. ~he cone apex ~ of baffle 44 i~ directed toward the end of pipe 38, and the base 41 of the cone is extended radially to form a circumferential cup-like ~ projection 45 as shown in FIGURE 2.

from the interior of chamber 14 through a central iperture 49 provided in the right-hand head 16, ag viewed in PIGURE 1. .
A second housing 54 is 3ecured beneath housinq 12 and provides a liquid accumluation chamber 56. A pair of downcomers S0 and 52 are secured to the lower portion of housing 12 in open communication with chamber 14 and extend downwardly through the upper wall of housing 54 lnto open communication with the liquid accumulation cham~
ber 56. A liguid draw line 58 is connected to the bottom of housing 54 in open communication w~th chamber 56 for . ~.
withdrawal of liquid therefrom. A control valve 60 is interposed in the draw line 58 and is operated by a suit-able valve actuator 64 which is operably connected to a -float 62 which i~ dispo~ed in the chamber 56. The valve 60 i8 preferably preset to open when the liquid level _fi_ _ ~ 1136071 ma~nt~ned in ehe ac~umul~tor chamber exceed- a predet~r~lned normal level. Alehough a float mec~anism i~ de~crlbed as a preferred means~of mainta~ning a liguid level in the liquid accumulation chamber 56, oeher means of liquid level control could be used equally as well within the spirit of this inven-tion.
In operation, a vapor-l$quid mixture (not shown) i8 continuously fed into ~nlet tubing 18. The spiral vanes 20, located in tubing 18, impart a helical motion to the flow stream, and the heavier liquid components thereof are forced to the outer perLmeter of the swirling flow by cen-trifugal force. In traveling downstream, the separated liquid droplets exit from the main flow stream through the orifices 30, 40, and 42, and fall to the bottom of chamber 14 by gravity. The flow stream exiting from the beveled end of the pipe 38 and any remaining droplets contained therein is directed against conical baffle 44. Baffle 44 reverses the generally forward flow of the stream and any ~- droplets impinging on the baffle are coalesced and fall to the bottom of chamber 14. The flow stream, substantially free of liquid, exit3 the chamber 14 through the exhaust tubing 48. Liquid in the chamber drains therefrom by gra-vity flow via downcomers 50 and 52 into the liquid accumula-tion chamber 56. The separated liquid is withdrawn from chamber 56 through drain line 58. Control valve 60, operated by float 62 and valve actuator 64, maintains a liquid level in the liquid accumulation chamber 56 at a predetermined level at all time~, thus preventing escape of vapor there-through while withdrawing liquid at the rate of accumulation.
