Multi-tubular centrifugal liquid separator and method of separation

摘要

A tube receives a liquid-gas mixture into a first end. Blades are mounted at the first end of the tube and the gas-liquid mixture impinges on the blades and is directed by the blades into a vortex within the tube. Openings in the tube wall conduct the liquid thrown against the interior of the wall into a casing formed over the wall openings. The gas, separated from the liquid, is passed from the second end of the tube while the liquid separated from the gas and collected in the annulus between the external wall of the tube and the casing over the wall openings is discharged.
