Abstract:
1. A device for separating a flowing medium mixture into at least two fractions with differing mass densities, the device comprising an inlet for the flowing medium mixture to be separated, which connects to a first rotating means for rotating the flowing medium mixture such that it separates into at least a first and a second fraction, said first rotating means connecting to a first and a second outlet means for discharging the first and second fractions, wherein the device further comprises a feedback loop comprising a second rotating means between the second outlet means and the inlet means which connects to the first rotating means, wherein the device further comprises a first means for physically influencing the difference in mass densities of the fractions to be separated, the first means connecting upstream in a flow direction of the flowing medium mixture to the first rotating means and comprising active or passive cooling means, disposed upstream of an expansion means in the flow direction of the flowing medium mixture.
