EATON TF Two Stage Gas Liquid Separators for applications requiring extremely fine entrainment removal. The first stage is a centrifugal separator that removes slugs and heavy liquid loads. The second stage uses coalescing filters to remove nearly all remaining droplets plus particles as small as 0.3 microns from air, gas and steam processes. The most common application for the TF Series Filter/Separator is for natural gas but it is also suitable for any application requiring highly pure output.

Exclusive Design
Moisture-laden gas enters the inlet of the separator where it is deflected in a centrifugal downward motion. The entrained solids and moisture droplets are separated out by a reduction in velocity. Separated liquid and solids fall into a reservoir where the exclusive Eaton Vortex Containment Plate (VCP) ensures that they cannot be re-entrained. This design eliminates the need for expensive, delicate baffles used in ordinary separators.
The clean, dry flow is then directed upward to the second stage where precision filters capture any additional moisture and particles to meet the exact application requirements.
EATON TF Two Stage Gas Liquid Separators Fabricated Construction
EATON TF Two Stage Gas Liquid Separators are available in standard sizes from 2 1/2” to 16” in carbon steel. Stainless steel construction and other sizes can be ordered for special applications. Ports are built in for vents, gauges and drains. Additional fittings can be specified.
The filter elements are made of borosilicate microglass fibers, epoxy saturated, with glass-matrix drain layer. Filter elements can be ordered in a range of micron ratings down to 0.3 microns. Eaton Type TF Separator/Filters meet ASME Code, Section VII, Division 1. ASME U code stamp is available.
Vortex Containment Plate
Moisture laden gas enters the inlet of the separator where it is deflected by Eaton’s unique Cenpellar™ into a centrifugal motion. The entrained solids and moisture droplets are separated out by a reduction in velocity. Separated liquid and solids fall into the separators integral drain trap where Eaton’s exclusive Vortex Containment Plate (VCP) ensures that they cannot be re-entrained. The VCP is constructed with a series of carefully placed rings and plates that shield the separated liquid from the vortex action within the separator to prevent re-entrainment . The VCP also helps direct the liquid to the drain trap while at the same time moves the clean, dry gas to the separator outlet. With Eaton’s exclusive VCP the need for expensive, delicate baffles that are used in ordinary separators is eliminated.
