Abstract:
Device for separating the components of a heterogeneous mixture, where this device comprises a separation chamber with at one of its extremities an inlet and at the other of its extremities an outlet comprising a first annular orifice coaxial to said chamber and a second annular orifice coaxial to said first annular orifice and whose outside diameter is less than the inside diameter of said first annular orifice, characterized by the fact that said separation chamber includes a cylindrical shape and by the fact that the outside diameter of said first annular orifice is less than the inside diameter of said chamber and the fact that the outlet of the separation chamber further includes:a peripheral annular first piece, that extends from the wall of the separation chamber toward a central longitudinal axis of the chamber, a second piece that is essentially cylindrical, a central third piece with a circular transversal section, where the essentially cylindrical piece is arranged between the peripheral annular piece and the central piece, and wherein the first, second, and third pieces are coaxial to the separation chamber so that the first annular orifice is comprised by the space between the peripheral annular piece and the essentially cylindrical piece and the second annular orifice is comprised by the space between the essentially cylindrical piece and the central piece.
