DSH – Highly Efficient Droplet Separator

• High droplet and moisture separation efficiency
  • Class A results (EN 13030:2001)
  • Minimum pressure drop
• Performance tested according to EN 13030:2001 test for louvres subjected to simulated rain, at the independent laboratory
• Independent droplet removal efficiency testing carried out for single-stage, two-stage and three-stage configurations
• Tailored sizes and designs, such as modular construction, according to customer’s needs
• For wall and duct installations
• Two and three-stage units will include a coalescing and particulate filter. Normally these are an ISO Coarse 70% panel filter or ePM2,5 65% bag filter.
• The option of a mask louvre (ML) is available to architecturally disguise the vertical vane sections
• A possibility to connect with Halton Marine fire or shut-off dampers resulting in saving of the space
• Easy installation and commissioning. No special maintenance required.

Halton’s DSH high efficiency droplet separators are designed for demanding applications such as marine, oil & gas, chemical, energy industries, where reliability, easy installation and special design play an important role. Droplet separators operate on the principle of inertial vane separation and are designed to restrict the penetration of moisture, salt spray, rainwater and airborne aerosol particles into HVAC systems, engine room intakes, machinery spaces, and diesel and gas turbine engine air intakes.

Three configurations are commonly used according to the level of droplet removal efficiency required, single stage, two stage, and three stage, but special configurations are available. Two and three stage units will include a coalescing and particulate filter. Halton is able to assist in the design and selection of the droplet separator according to the application with special consideration to the pressure drop, velocity, wind speed and direction, turbulence, and drainage.

General construction

• The single-stage unit comprises DSH vane section only, vane pitch can be 28mm, 23mm or 18mm
• Two-stage units comprise DSH+panel filter or DSH+bag filter
• Three-stage units comprise DSH+panel filter+DSH or DSH+bag filter+DSH
• Special configurations are available
• Mask Louvre (ML) and mesh (ME) are available as an option
• The mesh (ME) prevents objects from entering the air intake system
• The mask louvre (ML) is available to architecturally disguise the vertical vane sections
• Access to filter for removal and maintenance is LH (left hand) or RH (right hand) as standard

*) C3 durability of 7-15 years. C5-M with the durability of 15-25 years durability, available as an option.

Single-stage units are supplied with front drain holes or with drainage pipes. Two and three-stage units are normally supplied with a EN 1.4404 manometric drain trap to prevent unfiltered air by-passing the droplet separator.

Drain locations

Drain pipe sizes

Standard size is 3/4 “. 1/2″ and 1” are available as  an option. Thread type BSPT (male).

Service hatch (SH)

Enables easy access to the filter from the side of the unit. Hatch can be placed to the left side (HL) or the right side (HR) of the DSH. (ISO Coarse 70% panel filter in the picture).

Iso Coarse 70% panel filter

Panel filters are manufactured of progressive thermally smoothened synthetic polyester having high dust holding capacity and constancy for humidity. The filters are used in general ventilation system for air purification.

ePM10 70%, ePM2,5 65% and ePM1 50% bag filters

The materials of the synthetic fine filters are high-quality and durable, progressive mounted synthetic fibres. The filters can be used in example for air purification of intake air.

ATEX approved filters

Halton Marine also offers ATEX approved filters for droplet separators.

Installation in conjunction with a damper

Halton droplet separator can be connected to a Halton Marine fire damper with or without a connection piece. In both cases the construction is modified to fit the damper. Connecting DSH together with a damper must be mentioned when ordering products. Special flanges and drilling patterns are available for all models on request. The structural flexibility of dampers and high-quality combined with a wide range of accessories (including ex-actuators) and special steels, enable Halton Marine to offer tailored solutions for its customers. Combining Halton Marine droplet separator to damper offers customers a compact solution for air intake that also saves space. The products are recommended to be connected together at Halton Marine factory.

Weathertight hatch

Weathertight hatch is used e.g. to shut down the intake close to the waterline in the event of rough seas.
