SEPARATOR Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: separation of liquid phase from two-phase gas/vapor/liquid flows. SUBSTANCE: separator includes taper housing widening towards motion of two-phase mixture, coaxial branch pipes for introducing gas-and-liquid mixture and discharging gas and liquid outlet branch pipe. Secured on inner surface are spiral fins which are located oppositely and symmetrically relative to vertical axial plane at angle of inclination towards running-off of liquid and downward in way of flow on either side of housing. Gas discharge branch pipe is provided with truncated cone in its front portion; larger base of this truncated cone is connected with gas outlet branch pipe and less base is located in zone of mixture inlet branch pipe and is inclined relative to flow of mixture. In its rear portion, gas discharge branch pipe is provided with port made in form of slit located over generatrix in upper portion of branch pipe which is fitted with guide baffles. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 3 cl, 4 dwg
