| Abstract | The measured steam quality variation of separated steam coming from cyclone separators at Ahuachapan Geothermal Field, during 10 years (1977-1988) has been annualized. Since the initial production time all the geothermal wells have had a fixed type of separator equipment designed for the characteristic values of the first production test. During the evolution of reservoir the output discharge of all wells has changed and the performance of the separators also change. These performance variations are analyzed in order to verify the best separators basic design theory. |
