SEPARATOR A separator for separating a mixture of liquids into a more dense component and a less dense component. It comprises a tube of decreasing cross-section, at least one tangential inlet, an outlet for the less dense component on the tube axis, and an outlet for the more dense component on the tube wall in the form of a spiral groove, preferably with a plurality of outlet ports at the groove base. The separator may for example be used for separating a small volume of oil from water or, with suitable adjustment, a small volume of water from oil. |
