CETRIFUGAL SEPARATION ELEMENT Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B01D45/12 

FIELD: treatment plants.

SUBSTANCE: invention concerns gas-fluid flow separation technology. Centrifugal separation element includes drum with flow swirler and separated fluid trap above the drum rim, in the form of ring with vertical side surfaces forming interconnected annular channels together with external and internal sides of the drum. Trap features guide plates positioned at external side of side surface and oriented in direction of flow whirling by swirler. Pockets for fluid capture and discharge are made along loose ends of plates and can take form e.g. of flanging. Guide plates protrude beyond side surface of trap, feature curved profile and are positioned at tangential to the circle of side surface.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of gas separation from liquid and productivity of separation element.
