<p>An apparatus (10) separates liquid, gas and solid components of a mixture in a fluid system. An inlet (20) for receiving the mixture opens into a sep aration chamber (14) tangentially. with a cylindrical side wall (11) and a g as outlet (45) has an opening in a first end wall (16) adjacent the inlet (2 0) to allow gas to exit the separator (10). A fluid outlet (24) is located i n an opposing second end wall (26). A debris passage (32) extends through th e cylindrical side wall (11) and oriented so that the radial velocity of the particles within the separation chamber (14) directs the particles through the debris passage (32). The debris passage (32) leads to a particle collect ion chamber (34) in which the particles accumulate. Unlike prior separators that relied on the tangential velocity of the particles, the present apparat us utilizes the greater radial, velocity to drive the particles from the sep aration chamber into the particle collection chamber.</p> |
