Apparatus for Cyclone Separation of a Fluid Flow Into a Gas Phase and a Liquid Phase and Vessel Provided with such an Apparatus

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for cyclone separation of a fluid flow into essentially a gas phase fraction and a liquid phase fraction, by bringing the fluid flow into rotation so that said fluid flow is separated into a central zone essentially containing the gas phase fraction, and an outer annular zone essentially containing the liquid phase fraction, comprising: a housing (2); a swirl element (6) for rotation of the fluid; a gas phase outlet (5); and a liquid phase outlet (4); whereby the gas phase outlet and the liquid phase outlet both connect to a common collecting chamber outside the housing. The invention also relates to a vessel provided with at least one such apparatus.

1. An apparatus for cyclone separation of a fluid flow into essentially a gas phase fraction and a liquid phase fraction, by bringing the fluid flow into rotation so that said fluid flow is separated into a central zone essentially containing the gas phase fraction, and an outer annular zone essentially containing the liquid phase fraction, comprising:
a housing having an upstream fluid inlet; a swirl element for rotation of the fluid flow being located in the housing downstream of the fluid inlet; a gas phase outlet opened to the central zone of the housing downstream of the swirl element; and a liquid phase outlet connecting to the outer zone of the housing downstream of the swirl element; whereby the gas phase outlet and the liquid phase outlet both connect to a common collecting chamber outside the housing, wherein the apparatus further comprises at least one permeable flow guide located centrally in the housing, which permeable flow guide connects to the gas phase outlet.
