The droplets formed by the coalescing action can be removed from the main stream by using purely gravity or by employing WS High Effciency Water Separator cartridges. The majority of the droplets formed will settle within a short period of time. Smaller droplets will require a longer retention time to be separated from the main flow.
In applications where due to the process conditions the reliability of WS High Effciency Water Separator cartridges is questionable the use of gravity separation is preferred. In other applications the benefit of smaller vessels is appreciated resulting in vessels which combine coalescer and WS High Effciency Water Separator cartridges.
Vessels usually contain more than one of each element type. Each element has a maximum recommended flow rate. This may dependent on the application. The length of these elements can vary up to 1420 mm or 56″. The filter WS High Effciency Water Separator can be orientated either vertically or horizontally.
