July, 1920 Designs Oil Separator A combined gas washer and oil separator designed to separate the liquid par- ticles of oil from exhaust steam is being placed on the 'market by the Gris- sem Russell ;Co, New York. It is claimed that / | vas can leave "the separator with the steam gas to continue on into the pipes and the feed water heater or heating system, to condense and cause trouble. The sepa- rator's construction, as shown in the accompany- ing illustration, is simple. The entering steam must pass through a curtain of water thrown _ entirely across the inside of the separators throat by a spray niozzle located: in the center of this inlet steam passage. This spray accomplishes two things: First it forms a zone across the pipe in which the temperature is reduced, thereby condensing the oil gas which is an unstable equilibrium. <As_ this condensing action occurs in -contact with water, the liquid oil, as it forms, collects around the individual ~parti- cles of =spray-water; second -these -re- sultant oil-covered drops of water are then carried along with the steam into the separator and thrown -out of the steam current by centrifugal action as the steam passes along the spiral passage. As shown in the illustration, the steam on entering the separator re- Syn A section of a pier owned by the Galveston Whart Co., Galveston, 'Tex., recently was damaged by fire, he total loss was estimated at $1,500,- 000, which includes damage to stock stored in Warehouses, Andia & Ferrary, Brooklyn, N.
