Abstract:
A droplet separator for separating liquid droplets as well as the solid matter and condensate associated therewith from a gas flow (a) brought into rotary motion, comprising:a gas flow duct (11, 13, 15); a droplet separation tube (12) surrounding said gas flow duct, and in which the outermost layer (c) of the gas flow (a) is arranged to be passed from the flow duct (11) into the droplet separation tube (12) for separating the droplets, and the gas flow made free from droplets is arranged to be passed from the droplet separation tube (12) back into the flow duct (15), wherein the gas flow duct is formed of three successive parts placed at a distance from one another in the direction of flow, which parts are a flow tube (11), a cone part (13) having a front end and a rear end, said cone part tapers in the direction of flow, and a continuation tube (15), the diameter of the front end of said cone part (13) being smaller than the diameter of the flow tube (11), whereby flow gaps are formed between said flow tube and said front end of said cone part and between said rear end of said cone part and said continuation tube, said flow gaps provide an open flow connection between the flow duct and the droplet separation tube.
