摘要 |
The invention concerns an oil - water separator involving a tank (1) which is vertically divided into a first (3) and second chamber (4). An emulsion that is to be separated is introduced into the first chamber (3) which contains a blending filter (6) and V-shaped channels (7) arranged in series for the separation of the oil particles. The side walls of the V-shaped channels (7) are of different lengths. The longer side walls delimit the flow paths for the emulsion, whilst the shorter side walls provide a type of screen which prevents the separated oil from being carried away by the water flow. The separated oil particles are gathered in the upper part of the V-shaped channels (7) whose tips are directed upwards. Via ducts (11) from the V-shaped channels (7), the oil then flows to an oil outlet (2).<IMAGE> |
