Sizing a vapor-liquid separator is part art and part science. This spreadsheet covers scenarios from moderate carryover to minimal carryover as well sizing vessel with and without mesh pads. Use the recommended sizing factors or enter your own. Customization options include the ability to change the way the spreadsheet sizes the vessel based on the operating pressure. Output includes a dimension drawing and details of the calculation performed. Help sheets included are pipe/connection sizes, liquid density worksheet, and a vapor density worksheet. All equations and units are shown so that you can easily follow the calculation.
