Uni Klinger Moisture Separator (UKL): High-Efficiency Line Protection

Entrained moisture droplets in steam, compressed air, and gas distribution lines accelerate pipeline corrosion, cause severe water hammer, and reduce thermal heat transfer efficiency. The Uni Klinger Moisture Separator (UKL) uses an engineered multi-baffle design to separate and collect suspended liquid droplets, delivering dry steam and clean gas to downstream process equipment.

By removing water drops prior to critical machinery, UKL moisture separators protect control valves, flow meters, and steam turbines from wet steam damage and mechanical erosion.

Key Features & Design Advantages

• Multi-Baffle Separation System: Changes directional velocity to trap liquid droplets, redirecting them downward for continuous drainage.
• Low Pressure Drop Design: Engineered with wide internal flow paths to minimize pressure drop across the unit and maintain steady system pressure.
• Robust Body Construction: Available in durable Cast Iron or Cast Steel bodies with flanged connections to meet standard industrial ratings (ANSI Class 150 / Class 300).
• Extended Equipment Lifespan: Shields downstream control valves, pumps, and process machinery from destructive water hammer and liquid impingement.

Setup & Installation Best Practices

• Pipeline Orientation: Install directly in a flat, horizontal pipeline segment for maximum droplet separation efficiency.
• Strategic Placement: Position immediately upstream of control valves, steam turbines, pressure reducing stations, and sensitive process heating units.
• Drainage Configuration: Connect a dedicated steam trap module (or ball float trap) to the bottom drain port to continually evacuate collected moisture without live steam loss.
