Separator
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6986495
A separator consists of a housing having an upper fluid inlet and a lower fluid outlet in the sides of the housing. An inverted conical tube is disposed internally of the housing and is in fluid communication with the fluid inlet. The upper fluid inlet tangentially intersects the inverted conical tube so as to create a rotating vortex upon introduction of the mixture. Axially disposed within the vortex tube at the upper end is a withdrawal tube for removing lighter mixture components that are drawn toward the center of the tube. At the lower end of the vortex tube is an adjustable impact plate for transmitting a concussion wave through the vortexed body, so as to cause cavitation. Heavier mixture components gravitate toward the lower fluid outlet and are withdrawn through it. (7 claims)
