Claim:
A cyclone separator for separating liquids from gasses, comprising: a body of the cyclone separator; an inlet formed in the body of said cyclone separator to supply gaseous liquids into said cyclone separator; a gas outlet located in an upper portion of said body to allow exit of gasses from said cyclone separator; a liquid outlet located in a bottom portion of said body; a float assembly located within the body of said cyclone separator, said float assembly including; a) a float adapted for floating on liquid in said body, and b) a liquid valve attached to said float and adapted to close the liquid outlet when a level of the liquid is at a predetermined low level, and to open the liquid outlet when the level of the liquid is higher than said predetermined low level to thereby allow liquid to exit the body of said cyclone separator; a gas valve responsive to movements of said float for controlling the passage of gas through said gas outlet in response to the fluid level in the body of said cyclone separator; and whereby gasses are dynamically separated from liquids in said cyclone separator.
