New member seeking help: Issue with the gas-liquid separator in the hydrogen main pipeline
Thread Content
The hydrogen main pipe is in direct contact with the gas-liquid separator located above D-270, whereas there is no gas-liquid separator above D-260; instead, there is only a thin tube of about 80 mm in diameter connected to the gas-phase main pipe. Why is this? I’ve seen information stating that the gas-liquid separator on the hydrogen main pipe serves to absorb heat from the alkali solution system – is there any basis for this claim?
A gas-liquid separator must be installed in hydrogen pipelines to remove the liquid droplets carried by the hydrogen, thereby preventing these droplets from accumulating in the pipelines and causing gas blockages, crystallization-induced clogs, or even electrochemical corrosion of the pipelines. The primary function of a gas-liquid separator is undoubtedly to separate gas from liquid, while also serving to provide buffering, noise reduction, and temporary storage for the liquid phase. Of course, if the temperature of the alkaline droplets carried by the hydrogen stream is high, the recovered liquid phase also captures thermal energy as a byproduct, but this is not the main function of the gas-liquid separator.
