The principle of vane separation is achieved by fluid flow direction change, Momentum collision, adsorption coalescence, and gravity sedimentation. When the gas entrained the droplets enters the vane separator designed by the hydrodynamic structure, the fluid will forced to multiple rapid flow direction change in the vane bundle space of the special design. During the direction change, due to the inertial forces to force liquid droplets against the vane walls, at the same time, the fluid will rotate through the special flow channel structure space of the vanes. As the momentum of the droplets decreases, the radius of rotation drops sharply, and the droplets or the mist coalesce due to the liquid surface tension. Gravity, surface tension, and momentum drive coalesced liquid into the vane pockets. Liquid flows down the pockets and collects in liquid reservoir. Clean gas flows from the vane pack.
