Abstract:
1. A separator for separating a fluid flow of gas with liquid droplets, comprising an inlet into a chamber for said gas with droplets to a rotor, said rotor having an axis and comprising a mesh for coalescing said droplets and releasing coalesced liquid from a liquid permeable peripheral part of said rotor, characterized by said mesh generally forming an axial passage for said gas along the axis from said inlet, through said rotor, to an outlet for liquid depleted gas, and said rotor with said mesh adapted to transport said coalesced liquid laterally out of said axial passage toward a chamber wall surrounding the mesh arranged for receiving said coalesced liquid, and a radial gap in said chamber upstream of the rotor adapted to allow gas flow to exert a lateral pressure on droplets from the inlet through the upstream gap generally toward the chamber wall surrounding the mesh.
