A Vapour-Liquid Separator (VLS) is a critical device used in industrial processes for the separation of vapor and liquid phases from a mixture. It is commonly used in distillation, refrigeration, heat exchangers, and other processes where vapor and liquid phases coexist in a mixture. The separator relies on gravity, centrifugal force, or a combination of both to ensure the effective separation of the components based on their respective densities.
VLS units help optimize downstream processes by separating vapor and liquid components early, preventing any mixing or inefficiency that may occur in subsequent stages like condensation, heating, or pumping.
