Gas separator for liquid-conducting systems

A gas separator for removing bubbles of gas from a liquid, said separator comprising a housing, inlet and outlet connector pipes for said liquid, said pipes being attached to said housing and lying on a common center line, a substantially cylindrical separation chamber arranged between said connector pipes in said housing and spaced from said pipes, an inflow opening and flow guidance means for guiding gas-containing liquid tangentially into said chamber and setting the liquid in rotation, whereby the axis of the chamber forms the center of rotation of a centrifugal field, gas bubbles being forced to the center of rotation and conducted away to the exterior, through an outlet in said separation chamber and an outflow opening in said chamber for removing degassed liquid, wherein a first plane placed through the common center line of said connector pipes, and a second plane placed through the chamber axis perpendicular to said first plane produce a line of intersection which forms with said center line an angle (.alpha.) in the order of magnitude of 0.degree.<.alpha.<90.degree..
