Merlin - Model 316 -Stainless Steel Cyclone Separator

The MERLIN design offers optimal separation even at very low gas flow rate (1 litre / min). With 5 years of intense research and development, the ultra-smooth geometry prevents splashing of droplets which create mist that can be carried-over into the analyser.

By not using any kind of filter (sintered stainless steel, micro-fibre), the MERLIN separates liquid droplets and particulates (up to 10 microns) effectively from gas phase by centrifugal forces. Indeed, the density difference between a gas and solid particulates / liquids provides separation by centrifugation.

The separated components flow axially downwards out of the separator with the bypass flow. The dry and clean gas sample exits from the top side of the separator to the analyser
