public class InletCyclones
extends PrimarySeparation

Inlet cyclone device for primary separation in a separator vessel.

Inlet cyclones use centrifugal force to separate bulk liquid from the gas stream at the inlet. They handle the highest inlet momentum of all inlet device types (up to 8000 Pa rho*v^2) and produce a more uniform gas distribution downstream. Multiple cyclone tubes are typically arranged in a cluster.

Inlet cyclones are preferred for high gas-to-liquid ratio applications (gas scrubbers, gas production separators) where the liquid load is moderate.
