Development and performance testing of phase separator for liquid nitrogen distribution network

Phase separators of different design are in use widely all over the world for cryogenic transfer systems. The cryogenic facility [1] at IUAC along with other facilities consist of a large network of LN2 distribution lines. The transfer loss has become a serious concern due to problems associated with it such as pressure loss and economical utilization of liquid nitrogen. A phase separator suitable for the existing distribution system has been developed indigenously and measurements of quality improvement by this phase separator has been analyzed. This paper describes in detail about its design and fabrication along with test results.
