Ensure that any pressure is isolated and safety vented to atmospheric pressure before attempting to maintain the product, this is easily achieved by fitting Spirax Sarco depressurisation valves type DV (see separate literature for details). Do not assume that the system is depressurised even when a pressure gauge indicates zero.
2. General product information General description The products detailed are all baffle type separators used for the removal of entrained liquids in steam, compressed air and gas systems. We recommend the fitting of insulating jackets to improve the performance of the separator. Note: For additional information see the following Technical Information Sheets.

The separators may be lagged if required. Important installation note for the S1, S2, S3, S12 & S13 separators: Install in a horizontal pipeline with the drain directly below. To ensure that any separated liquid is drained away quickly, a suitable liquid drainer or steam trap must be connected to the drain.
Fig. 6 Heat transfer processes and valve protection Fig. 7 Compressed air distribution 5. Operation Separators are designed to gather together small droplets of entrained liquids and then separate them from the gas /vapour flow. The relatively heavy droplets impinge on the internal baffles and are then directed to the separator drain connection and removed from the system using a steam trap, or when used on air or gas distribution system, a liquid drainer.
Note: Before actioning any maintenance programme observe the 'Safety information' in Section 1. Warning There are no internal components that require maintenance. Fig. 9 S2, S3, S12 and S13 Fig. 8 S1 Support bracket Fig. 10 S5 and S6 Fig. 11 S7 and S8 IM-P023-55 ST Issue 3 p023_55.p65...
