CYCLONIC FLUID SEPARATOR WITH VORTEX GENERATOR IN INLET SECTION

摘要

A cyclonic fluid separator of the type comprising a tubular throat portion (4) in which a fluid mixture is accelerated to a subsonic or supersonic speed and thereby expanded and cooled down so that condensable components condense and/or solidify and then swirl into a diverging fluid outlet section (5) that comprises an aliter secondary outlet (6) for condensables enriched fluid components and an inner primary outlet (7). For condensables depleted fluid components comprises swirl imparting vanes (2) that protrude tram a central body (1) that extends through at least part of an inlet section of the separator, wherein the central body (1) has, at a location upstream of the throat portion (4), a larger aliter width (2ROmax) than the smallest inner width (2RNmin) of the throat portion (4).
