ABSTRACT:
"A separator, in the sense used here, is a vessel for receiving mixtures of gas (nitrogen, hydrogen and ammonia vapor) and liquid (liquid ammonia with small amounts of dissolved nitrogen and hydrogen) in which the liquid settles out in the bottom with the gas phase above. Provision is made
out. The balancing separator is a separator whose mass may be determined by virtue of it being attached to a balancing arm on a fulcrum. The many uses of such a device are described in the June 1982 Progress Report of the Ammonia Thermochemical Energy Demonstration. Briefly these uses are: to enable absolute calibration of liquid and gas flow meters, to enable the determination of the nitrogen-to-hydrogen molar ratio of the gas, to enable the absolute determination of rates of dissociation and synthesis; and to provide an essential control element for the demonstration of an energy transferring system."

for the separate extraction of each phase. It is important that the velocity of gas in the separator be low and that the path length between inlet and gas outlet be long so that entrained liquid particles may settleout.
