APPARATUS FOR SEPARATION OF MIXTURES Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: apparatuses for separation of mixtures of two fluids. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has body with inlet pipe for intake of mixture and outlet pipe for withdrawal of light and heavy phases, body channel for withdrawal of heavy phase and formed by one of two partitions of different heights with plate installed above channel. Apparatus has chamber for separation of phases and made in the form of interconnected vertical plate and horizontal plate connected to partition forming channel for withdrawal of heavy phase and to body. In this case, vertical plate forms segment channel together with apparatus body for withdrawal of light phase. The other partition, one of two said different in height ones, is located for separation of phases at some distance from horizontal plate. Inlet pipe for introduction of mixture has a distributor of fluid flow and installed above chamber. Installed under inlet pipe for introduction of mixture is damping shelf located above channel for discharge of light phase and chamber for separation of phases. Chamber may be provided with shelf separating members secured to vertical plate. EFFECT: higher degree of separation of fluids mixtures with different densities. 2 cl, 3 dwg
