Abstract
A device for separating a flowing medium mixture into at least two different fractions with differing average mass density, comprising an elongate separating space which is circle-symmetrical in axial direction and enclosed by a stationary casing (2), wherein the casing is provided with feeds for a mixture for separating and at least two discharges (9, 10) for discharging at least two fractions with differing mass density, and rotation means located in the separating space for causing the mixture to rotate as a vortex in the separating space. Also disclosed is a method for separating a flowing medium mixture.

A device for separating a flowing medium mixture into at least two different fractions with differing average mass density, the device comprising:
- a) a stationary casing defining an elongate separating space which is circle-symmetrical in an axial direction, the casing is provided with a feed for a mixture for separating and at least two discharges for discharging at least two fractions with differing mass density;
- and
- b) a mechanism for inducing rotation located in the separating space for causing the mixture to rotate as a vortex in the separating space;
- wherein the feed for a mixture for separating initially connects by means of a first feed part substantially radially to the separating space and transposes into a third feed part which forms the rotation means and debouches substantially tangentially in the separating space;
- wherein the device further comprises a plurality of first feed parts which connect to the separating space from different radial directions.
A method for separating a flowing medium mixture into at least two fractions with differing mass density, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) feeding a mixture for separating to a stationary cyclone in a substantially radial direction;
- b) rotating the flowing mixture as a vortex in a stationary circle-symmetrical, elongate housing of the cyclone;
- and
- c) discharging at least two separated fractions from the stationary cyclone;
- wherein the mixture for separating is fed in different fractions from different radial directions to the stationary cyclone during step a.
A device for separating a flowing medium mixture into at least two different fractions with differing average mass density, the device comprising:
- a) a stationary casing defining an elongate separating space which is circle-symmetrical in an axial direction;
- b) a mechanism for inducing rotation located in the separating space for causing the mixture to rotate as a vortex in the separating space;
- and
- c) a feeder assembly for a mixture for separating and at least two discharges for discharging at least two fractions with differing mass density, the feeder assembly comprising at least one first feed part oriented substantially radially to the separating space and transposes into a third feed part which forms the rotation mechanism and debouches substantially tangentially in the separating space.
