Blowdown Separators


 

For intermittent boiler blowoff, hydronic S.R.V. and other process blowdowns.

• PROVEN DESIGN FEATURES
Penn Separator has been manufacturing Blowdown Separators since 1956. This experience goes into every separator that we make. All are built to the requirements of ASME Code Sec. VIII Div. 1 and include a stainless steel wear plate and internal baffles with a self cleaning design for years of trouble free service.

• CYCLONE SPINNING ACTION
Intermittent blowoff requires high volume flows to carry off sediment from the boiler. Penn Blowdown Separators are designed to efficiently and safely handle these high flows. The tangential inlet and small diameter encourages a cyclone spinning action for quiet release of clean steam from the condensate. That's why a Penn Blowdown Separator is only 14" diameter as compared to a much larger blowoff tank.

• CONTROLS THERMAL POLLUTION
When packaged with aftercooler fitting and accessories as shown on the back, remaining water is reduced to meet state and local sewer temperature requirements. Adjustable Penn self-actuating valve automatically provides the right amount of cooling water. Drain sizing provides continuous drainage of condensate down the drain without further calculations.
