APPARATUS FOR CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATION OF TWO-PHASE MIXTURES

摘要

A vessel, such as the horizontally extending collector in a forced-flow steam generator, communicates with drain pipes extending from the vessel bottom downwardly and with gas outlet lines extending upwardly from the top of the vessel. Tubular structures are mounted inside the vessel and have their interior communicate with respective supply conduits for the mixture to be supplied. The mixture supply conduit of each tubular structure enters in a tangential direction at about the middle of the structure. The ends of the structure are covered. The water separated by centrifugal action from the steam inside each tubular structure can drain through lateral slots in the bottom of the structure. The separated gas passes out of the ends of the structure through respective stub tubes.
