<p>1. Separator for separating water constituting a phase dispersed in the form of droplets in a liquid-hydrocarbon or mixture of hydrocarbons, in particular in a fuel for engines, constituting a continuous phase, this separator comprising a medium adapted to favour coalescence of the dispersed phase and this medium (1) being constituted by the juxtaposition, in the direction of movement of the liquid, of _ one or several first layers (11a, 11b) of a homogenous mixture of fibres of silica and of alumina, the diameter of these fibres being heterogeneous and being between 0.5 and 10 micrometres, - a second layer (12) of open-cell foam of little or no tendency to wetting by water, of which the pore size is between 0.05 and 0.2 mm, - a third homogenous layer of glass fibres (13), the diameter of these fibres being heterogeneous and being between 20 and 200 micrometres, - a mesh of woven cellulosic material (14) of which the pore size is between 2 and 10 mm.</p> |
