APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TREATING A FLUID

摘要

An apparatus for treating a fluid, comprising at least one treating zone (2) , and a fluid inlet (3) and separation device disposed therein for introducing a separated mixture of liquid and gas into the treating zone (2). The fluid inlet (3) device comprises a series of coaxially disposed circumferential vanes (9Aa-9E), wherein each circumferential vane curvedly extends between a n intercepting part having a substantially axially directed leading edge and a deflecting part having a substantially radially outwardly extending trailing edge, and wherein the central axis (A~) of the inlet device (3) extends parallel or coaxial with an upwardly extending axis of the treating zone (2) . The invention further relates to a fluid inlet device (3), to a use of the fluid inlet device, and to a method for treating a fluid.
