SEPARATOR Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B01D45/12 B01D45/16 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices intended for separating fluid and solid particles from gases exploiting centrifugal forces originating on swirling gas-fluid flow, and can be used in oil production, petrochemical industry and other branches of national economy. Proposed separator incorporates vertical cylindrical housing with inlet, outlet and discharge branch pipes, horizontal baffle with central hole with separation pack made up of plates arranged its edges, and deflector arranged between separation pack and housing inner wall and communicated with inlet branch pipe. Housing lower part inner surface is made tapered with start of smaller diametre section arranged below deflector, bur above or at the level of separation pack. Note that cylindrical ring is arranged at the housing larger-diametre section.

EFFECT: expanded operating range, reduced pressure losses, higher efficiency of separation.
