Performance Evaluation of Foa Internal Energy Separators

Abstract

The report details the work performed by a contractor to evaluate the actual performance of model energy separators, including a variable geometry device fabricated specifically for this purpose. Tests were conducted on a single rotor energy separator with fixed geometry and a double rotor energy separator with interchangeable collectors and center sections. The latter device is referred to as the 'variable geometry model'. Test results are presented in graphic form and evaluated to reveal preferred Foa energy separators geometry. Fabrication and test procedures are also outlined.
