Abstract:
1. A gas-liquid separator for separating a gas or gases from gas-liquid mixtures, comprising: at least two containers, a first container for separating gas from a gas-liquid mixture and a second container for receiving gas reduced or gas free liquid, the first container for separating gas from the gas-liquid mixture having an inlet port for the gas-liquid mixture, an outlet port for the gas reduced or gas free liquid at a location below the level of the gas in the first container, a separate gas outlet port for the separated gas, and a volume above the outlet port for the gas reduced or gas free liquid enough to hold a volume of the separated gas prior to discharge to the gas outlet port, the second container receiving gas reduced or gas free liquid through an inlet port having a dimension sufficient to hold a volume of liquid enough to exert pressure on the gas-liquid mixture inside the first container thereby directing the separated gas to escape from the gas outlet port of the first container while allowing the gas reduced or gas free liquid to exit at a separate outlet port of the second container.
