Phymetrix Gas-Liquid Separator Mini-Demister

(I-Newswire) November 19, 2009 - The Phymetrix Mini-Demister is specifically designed to fill a need for portable gas analyzers to separate liquid vapor mixtures such that they do not compromise sensitive analyzer components. Ideal for SF6 moisture measurement oil carryover separation; conveniently fits on top of the Phymetrix PPMa hand-held moisture analyzer. Enhances analyzer integrity, speed of response and accuracy; for all gas analyzers that can be potentially exposed to liquids.

Operates by allowing liquids to settle to the bottom of the separator under force of gravity, where they are drained out through a metering valve. The sample travels through the container tube at a low velocity; thus minimizing the entrainment of any liquid droplets in the gas as it exits near the top of the separator and flows down into the analyzer. The glass container tube affords the operator a 360° view of the accumulated liquid. Adjusting the drain metering valve optimizes the liquid removal with minimum waste of sample gas.

Miniaturized (1”dia. x 3.65”high) to allow connecting directly on top of a small hand-held analyzer, such as the Phymetrix PPMa as well as other manufacturer’s gas analyzers. Axial in-line construction; conveniently positioned INLET on top and OUTLET to analyzer on the bottom. On the side the rotatable drain valve and port can be positioned as needed. The outlet to the analyzer has a built-in facility for an optional flow control pressure drop orifice. Stainless Steel housing, Viton seals and a glass container tube provide the seal integrity necessary even for the most demanding measurements such as low levels of moisture. The Mini-Demister is easy to disassemble and clean if needed. The glass tube is rated for 150 psi and has an outer impact resistant protective clear plastic shield that prevents nicks and scratches in the field. A variety of inlet and outlet port fitting types are available, e.g. NPT, SAE straight-thread with o-ring seals, swageable tube etc.

Superior to coalescing filters because the liquid is visible, drains out in a controlled fashion and does not accumulate in absorbent materials to outgas when the analyzer is used in other measurements. There are no hygroscopic materials employed.

The Phymetrix Mini-Demister is a cost effective addition to any portable analyzer, feature packed in an extremely compact housing that fits on top of even the smallest analyzer.

About PHYMETRIX INC:
Phymetrix Inc. a global provider of advanced measurement instruments announces the launch of a new series of proprietary nanopore, metal oxide ceramic sensor based moisture analyzers. The newly designed, manufactured and commercialized Phymetrix instruments offer many advantages over older technologies with a larger signal response small change of low water vapor concentrations resulting in greater measurement range -110°C to +20°C dewpoint. The PPMa and the PPBa are the newest models designed to meet the growing demands of the market. The greater speed of measurement, improved reproducibility, sensitivity to ambient temperatures, higher reliability and accuracy with greater cost effectiveness make the Phymetrix instruments a technological leader.
