Development and Experimental Validation for Quantifying the Moisture Carryover in a Moisture Separator Using an Air/Water Test Facility
The moisture carryover (MCO) of the primary separator in a steam generator is the most important design parameter to ensure high efficiency in a steam generator. There is an inherent limitation to experimentally evaluate the MCO under the prototype conditions. In this study, the air/water test facil...

| description | The moisture carryover (MCO) of the primary separator in a steam generator is the most important design parameter to ensure high efficiency in a steam generator. There is an inherent limitation to experimentally evaluate the MCO under the prototype conditions. In this study, the air/water test facility was constructed based on the similarity law, and a new isokinetic system was developed to quantify the MCO. Several experiments were performed for the mass quality ranging from 0.315 to 0.382. The accuracy and versatility of the experimental method was verified experimentally using a full and half scale of separators. The test results were compared with the prototype results. It was proved to be a reliable experimental method for evaluating the MCO of the moisture separator. |
