Abstract
A separator for separating liquid from a gas flow is provided with a nozzle carrier element provided with a nozzle arrangement having one or more nozzles. An impact element is arranged downstream in flow direction of the gas flow at least partially opposite the nozzle arrangement. A permanent cover device is provided that covers at least one of the one or more nozzles of the nozzle arrangement. The permanent cover device reduces by at least 50% a through-flow of the gas flow through the at least one of the one or more nozzles of the nozzle arrangement compared to the one or more nozzles of the nozzle arrangement that are free from the permanent cover device. An assembly kit for producing such a separator is provided with a nozzle carrier element with nozzle arrangement and one or more nozzles, an impact element, a cover device, and a liquid reservoir.
