Abstract
Phase separator comprising a housing with a main inlet and a main outlet and one or more secondary outlets, the main inlet arranged for allowing the multiphase mixture to enter the phase separator and the main outlet arranged for allowing the treated multi-phase mixture to leave the phase separator, i.e. after separation of phase entities from the multi-phase mixture, the one or more secondary outlets arranged for allowing the separated phase entities to leave the phase separator, characterized in that the phase separator further comprises compartmentalization means.
Claims18
A phase separator for application in the HVAC-technology with corresponding multi-phase mixture velocities, the phase separator comprising:
- a housing with a main inlet and a main outlet and one or more secondary outlets, the main inlet arranged for allowing the multi-phase mixture to enter the phase separator, and the main outlet arranged for allowing the treated multi-phase mixture to leave the phase separator, the phase separator between the main inlet and the main outlet being provided of a flow-through passage including a path for the main stream of the multi-phase mixture, the one or more secondary outlets arranged for allowing the separated phase entities to leave the phase separator;
- and
- within said housing, compartmentalization means configured as at least two partition walls, each of said at least two partition walls provided with an opening, the opening of each of the at least two partition walls mainly in line with the other opening or openings and arranged for providing one or a series of quiet flow compartments along the path of the flow-through passage, where in a quiet flow compartment phase entities to be separated from the multi-phase mixture are given an improved environment to settle or rise.
