Uniflow Centrifugal Gas-Liquid Separator

A uniflow centrifugal gas-liquid separator, comprising:

• a cylindrical body, having a uniform diameter throughout;
• an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe;
• wherein ensemble of said inlet and outlet pipes is identified as a separation pipes hereinafter;
• wherein said separation pipes have equal diameters and are coaxial to each other;
• wherein said separation pipes are also coaxial with the cylindrical body;
• wherein a the diameter of the separation pipes being smaller than an internal diameter of the cylindrical body;
• an end of the inlet pipe is expanded against a front part of the outlet pipe creating an annular duct inside the cylindrical body;
• wherein the annular duct is further produced by simultaneous thinning of a walls of said separation pipes;
• a swirler, being coaxial to said separation pipes and the cylindrical body;
• the swirler is installed inside the inlet pipe;
• the swirler comprising a cone with its top positioned towards a gas-liquid flow;
• wherein further a vertex of the cone is facing towards a direction of a flow and thus separates the flow;
• a swirler cylindrical pipe is attached to a base of the cone;
• a flat blades of the swirler are mounted circumferentially on an internal surface of the inlet pipe;
• the blades are positioned at a 25-35° angle to the cone;
• wherein a fluid has completely separated out of the said gas-liquid flow once it clears a region comprising combination of said separation pipes, swirler and swirler cylindrical pipe and only gas is allowed to proceed thereafter;
• a gas flow than is proceed to flow through an opening in the cylindrical body having a uniform diameter throughout;
• and wherein a cylindrical gas-liquid flow damper is placed between an external surface of the outlet pipe and an internal surface of the body.
