Burnham Flash Separator Merkblatt
Flash Separator
•
Reduces steam pressure or vents process steam
directly to atmosphere.
•
Eliminates moisture from process steam (cyclonic
spinning mechanism permits the use of smaller tanks
to completely separate flash steam from condensate).
•
ASME Section VIII “UE” stamped separator standard
up to model BFS-16-56.
•
ASME Section VIII “U” stamped separator standard for
models BFS-16-56 and above.
•
Sized to accommodate a given #/hour flow rate of
steam from a given source psig to a given vent psig.
•
Model Range:
6" diameter x 34" high through
36" diameter x 108" high
•
Modular configuration to meet customer requirements
include: a flash separator and the following options:
trap, check valve, ball valve, safety relief valve and
gauge glass.
•
Can be custom configured to meet customer
requirements.
•
Stainless steel striking plate standard.
*Flash Separators over 18" diameter,
cleanout will be 2" NPT coupling.
cleanout will be 2" NPT coupling.
Follow the “Pressure From...” down vertically on the chart above to the “Pressure To...”.
EXAMPLE: 75 PSIG condensate flashed to low pressure heating system at 15 PSIG gives 7.6% condensate flashed into system.
EXAMPLE: 75 PSIG condensate flashed to low pressure heating system at 15 PSIG gives 7.6% condensate flashed into system.
After determining the percent of flash from
the chart to the right, determine the size of
Flash Separator from the chart on the back.
EXAMPLE: Referring back to the chart to
the right, you have a 7.6% flash, if you have
30,000 #/hour condensate at 75 PSIG,
2,280 #/hour steam (30,000 x .076). Locate
30,000 in the left column of the chart on the
back, go across to 2,280 #/hour flash steam
column (3,000). You would use a 56" high x
18" diameter Flash Separator with a 3" draft
and 5" vent.
