Abstract:
The present invention provides a heavy solids separator for separating solids from fluids, comprising a swirl-generating chamber ( 1 ) and a solids accumulation chamber ( 2 ), wherein the swirl-generating chamber ( 1 ) comprises an inlet ( 3 ), a solids outlet ( 4 ) and a fluid extraction pipe ( 5 ) arranged at the centerline (C) of the chamber ( 1 ), the inlet arranged at an upper part of the swirl-generating chamber, the solids outlet is fluidly connected to the solids accumulation chamber and arranged in the bottom of the swirl-generating chamber, and the fluid extraction pipe ( 5 ) has a fluid inlet ( 6,19 ) comprising an opening ( 6 ) arranged at the centerline of the fluid extraction pipe, the opening facing the solids outlet ( 4 ), and a fluid outlet ( 7 ) for extracting fluid out of the swirl-generating chamber; and the solids accumulation chamber ( 2 ) comprises a solids inlet ( 8 ) fluidly connected to the solids outlet ( 4 ) of the swirl-generating chamber, and a solids outlet ( 9 ) arranged in a lower part of the solids accumulation chamber; and at least parts of the swirl-generating chamber and the solids accumulation chamber are arranged in a cylindrical housing ( 12 ) comprising a funnel-shaped frustoconical element ( 13 ) delimiting at least a lower section of the swirl-generating chamber and an upper section of the solids accumulation chamber, the funnel-shaped frustoconical element has an upper opening ( 14 ) and a lower opening ( 15 ), the upper opening having a larger diameter than the lower opening; wherein the solids accumulation chamber ( 2 ) comprises a fluid outlet ( 10 ) arranged above the level of the solids inlet ( 8 ) and fluidly connected downstream of the fluid outlet ( 7 ) of the fluid extraction pipe.

Claim (Index 10):
A separator according to  claim 1 , wherein the opening of the fluid inlet of the fluid extraction pipe is arranged at a level closer to the lower opening of the funnel-shaped frustoconical element than to the upper opening of the funnel-shaped frustoconical element.
