A system (10) for recovering a coolant fluid from a contaminated fluid mixture. The system (10) includes a container (20) structured to permit a fluid vortex to be created therein. The container (20) includes a bottom outlet opening (24) and a tangential inlet means (25). A conduit (30) connects a separator (35) to the container outlet opening (24). A second conduit (33, 34) recirculates fluid discharged from the container (20) back into the container (20) through inlet means (25) to maintain the fluid vortex created within the container (20). The lighter liquid within the mixture rises to the surface of the whirlpool created by the fluid vortex and is then carried by the vortex forces upon that surface to the outlet opening (24), the lighter liquid thereby being 'skimmed' from the coolant fluid within the container (20). |
