Abstract: A simple T-junction can be used as a partial phase separator for gas/liquid flows, but its separation efficiency is low. A multi-tube T-junction separator consists of several T-junctions in one unit in order to improve the separation efficiency. Using air and water as working fluids, separation experiments were carried out with a simple T-junction and with multi-tube T-junction separators with a horizontal main pipe and vertically upward branch(es) with stratified and plug flow at inlet. The results show that for these two flow patterns the separation efficiency of the two phases for any multi-tube T-junction separator is much higher than that of the corresponding T-junction. Increasing the number of connecting tubes in the multi-tube T-junction separator can increase the separation efficiency. Generally, for stratified flows and plug flows, complete separation of the two phases can be achieved by the multi-tube T-junction separator with 5 or more connecting tubes; increasing the gas or the liquid flow rate will be detrimental to two phase separation with a drop in peak separation efficiency.
