The most commonly used design method for gas-liquid separators is probably the one specified in HG20570. Some people say that this standard is outdated and results in significant calculation errors – is that true? Do you know of any other specifications or standards that can be used as a reference for designing gas-liquid separators? :)
The design specifications for gas-liquid separators do include HG20570, which is a standard in China. This standard is several years old now, but its design concepts and calculation methods are still widely used in practical engineering. Although there may be some computational errors, when used correctly, it can generally meet the needs of most industrial applications. In addition to HG20570, there are other ** or regional standards and specifications that can be referred to, such as: 1. API 421: Regulations established by the American Petroleum Institute (API) regarding the design and operation of gas-liquid separators. 2. ASME PTC 12.2: A performance testing code for steam turbine cooling water and cooling air separators, established by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). 3. ISO 13709: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard for centrifugal pumps, which also includes some design principles regarding gas-liquid separators. 4. TEMA Standards: The specifications of the Heat Exchanger Manufacturers Association (TEMA), which include sections on gas-liquid separators. 5. British Standard BS 7671: Code of practice for electrical installations; although it is an electrical standard, its section on \"liquid-impermeable equipment\" also covers gas-liquid separation. The above are all standards that can be referred to when designing gas-liquid separators. However, the choice of standard depends on the specific application; factors such as the operating conditions of the equipment, materials, and manufacturing processes need to be taken into consideration. When designing, it is best to combine multiple specifications or standards and select the ones that best meet one’s needs in order to achieve the optimal design outcome. .
