Abstract
A moisture separator for a steam turbine power plant for separating moisture from a flow of vapor or gas that includes a bundle of vanes having a corrugated portion and a trailing edge. The trailing edge includes means to collect moisture on the surfaces of the trailing edge. These means can include a clip-like attachment, or a U-shape of the trailing edge itself. The collection means on the trailing edge contribute to the overall moisture separation efficiency of the moisture separator and a decrease of risk of damage to the steam turbine driven by the steam flow.
