Patent ID: 8657930

Claim:
A system comprising a flow inlet ( 16 ), wherein a separation system comprises a swirl valve ( 100 ), arranged to receive and control the flux of a two-phase fluid flow via the flow inlet ( 16 ) and to generate a swirling flow, swirling about a central axis ( 11 ), wherein the separation system further comprises a separation chamber ( 40 ) positioned downstream with respect of the swirl valve ( 100 ) to receive the swirling flow from the swirl valve ( 100 ), wherein the separation chamber ( 40 ) comprises a first and second flow outlet ( 41 , 42 ), wherein the first flow outlet ( 41 ) is positioned to receive an inner portion of the swirling flow and the second outlet ( 42 ) is positioned to receive an outer portion of the swirling flow, further comprising a settling chamber ( 30 ) positioned in between the swirl valve ( 100 ) and the separation chamber ( 40 ), to receive the swirling flow from the swirl valve ( 100 ), the settling chamber ( 30 ) being divergent in a downstream direction along the central axis ( 11 ) to create a diverged swirling flow, and deliver the diverged swirling flow to the separation chamber ( 40 ).
