CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATOR AND METHOD OF SEPARATING LIQUIDS FROM GAS

摘要

A centrifugal separator wherein in the gas/liquid to be separated is centrifugally flowed consecutively through multiple adjacent concentric cyclonic chambers and thereby forcing the mixture to also flow up and down through respective chambers causing deceleration along with centrifugal separation for maximum efficient separation of the liquid from the gas.

1. A centrifugal separator comprising:
an annular housing having an outer wall with an inner surface, a closed top and a tangential fluid inlet adjacent said top, said inlet adapted to direct an inlet stream of fluid under pressure against said inner surface for thereby creating centrifugal circulation of said fluid, and a fluid outlet pipe axially penetrating said top, said outlet pipe extending axially downward into said housing to a predetermined length; at least two concentric inner and outer annular baffle walls coaxially disposed in said housing between said outlet pipe and said inner surface, said walls depending downwardly from said top; fluid transfer ports in said inner baffle wall adjacent said top; the bottom of said outer baffle wall open to the interior of said housing and the bottom of said inner baffle wall sealed off at a position below the bottom of said outlet pipe.
