Patent ID: 11135601

Abstract:
A centrifugal gas-liquid separator wherein a tubular casing houses a central tubular duct, which is provided with a first free end and with a second end that communicates with a gas-outlet duct and carries a transversal annulus-shaped plate having a perimetral edge that faces the inner wall of the tubular body to define an annular gap. The plate divides the space inside the tubular casing into a first chamber and into a second chamber that communicate with each other through the annular gap. A liquid-outlet duct communicates with the second chamber and a liquid-phase/gas-phase inlet duct extends tangentially from the tubular casing and discharges into the first chamber through an inlet nozzle. A regulation device is provided, which is designed to modify the section of the inlet nozzle in order to modify the rate of entry of the liquid phase and gas phase into the first chamber and to adapt the operation of the centrifugal gas-liquid separator following variations of flow rate.
