Centrifugal separator for separating liquid particles from a gas flow

Abstract

A centrifugal separator for separating liquid droplets from a gas flow can be used for scrubbing gases to be emitted into the atmosphere, as well as for separating water, oil and gas condensate droplets from a gas flow in any industry. The separator comprises a cylindrical body with axial gas flow inlet and outlet pipes and separated liquid removal sections located on the end surfaces of the body. A swirler and a central perforated pipe are installed in series and in axial alignment in the body from the gas inlet side. A conical displacer is installed in the perforated central pipe. Separation stage vanes are located between the central pipe and the conical displacer along the entire length of the displacer, and hydraulic seal vanes are placed at the same level between the central pipe and the body. The separator design provides a more efficient separation of liquid droplets from a high-velocity gas flow and can operate in any position.
