Anderson - Model AVB -Steam Drum Internal Vane Bank

The success of the Anderson Separation Vane is rooted in simple physics principles of centrifugal force, impingement and gravity.  The condensate laden steam entering the vane bank separator is a mixture of low-density steam and high-density water.  As the mixture passes through the vane bundle, it is forced to change directions several times.  The low-density steam can easily negotiate this tortuous path, but because of momentum, the high-density liquid is unable to change direction without impinging upon the vane wall.
