Abstract

Provided is a separator including: a first header into which gas flows from an exterior of the separator; a core connected to the first header and including at least one flow path configured to cool the gas flowing from the first header through the flow path; and a second header connected to the core and configured to guide the gas passing through the at least one flow path to the exterior of the separator, wherein the second header includes at least one first baffle provided on an inner wall of the second header and configured to remove moisture from the gas.

Claims (17)

1. A separator comprising: a first header into which gas flows from an exterior of the separator; a core connected to the first header and comprising at least one flow path configured to cool the gas flowing from the first header through the flow path; and a second header connected to the core and configured to guide the gas passing through the at least one flow path to the exterior of the separator, wherein the second header comprises: a plurality of baffle groups disposed sequentially inside the second header and configured to remove moisture from the gas; and a condensate receiver configured to form a bottom portion of the second header and accumulate condensate in an area, wherein a bottom of the condensate receiver is linearly inclined, and wherein one of the baffle groups comprises: a blocking plate disposed across an inner space of the second header; at least one first baffle disposed before and after the blocking plate on an inner wall of the second header and; and at least one second baffle provided on the blocking plate.

2. The separator of claim 1 , wherein the second header comprises:

a second body comprising:

an opening provided on a first side of the second header; and

the at least one first baffle provided on a second side of the second header.

3. The separator of claim 1 , wherein the second baffle is configured to remove the moisture from the gas.

4. The separator of claim 1 , wherein the second baffle configured to reduce a moving speed of the gas.

5. The separator of claim 1 , wherein the blocking plate is inclined with respect to a gas flowing direction.

6. The separator of claim 5 , wherein the blocking plate is inclined and a distance between the blocking plate and a bottom portion of the second header increases with respect to the gas flowing direction.

7. The separator of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the second baffle is bent.

8. The separator of claim 1 , wherein the first baffle is configured to reduce a moving speed of the gas.

9. The separator of claim 1 , wherein the first baffle comprises at least one bending portion.

10. The separator of claim 1 , wherein the second header comprises a condensate guide configured to guide the condensate in the second header.

11. The separator of claim 10 , further comprising a flow controller provided on the condensate guide and configured to open or close the condensate guide.

12. The separator of claim 10 , wherein the condensate guide is connected to a portion of the second header adjacent to an outlet of the second header.

13. The separator of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first baffle protrudes from the inner wall of the second header and extends toward a downstream side of a flow direction of the gas in the second header.

14. The separator of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the at least one first baffle has at least one of a U-shape, W-shape and a V-shape.
