Method and apparatus for separating fluids
Abstract
Abstract A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING A FLUID INTO AT LEAST A MORE DENSE AND LESS DENSE EFFLUENT STREAM WHICH IS EFFECTED BY INTRODUCING THE FLUID TANGENTIALLY INTO A NEAR END OF A CYLINDRICAL CHAMBER THROUGH AN INLET THEREIN. THE LESS DENSE PORTION IS REMOVED THROUGH A NECKED DOWN AXIALLY ALIGNED, FIRST EXHAUST PORT IN THE NEAR END OF THE CYLINDRICAL CHAMBER AND THE MORE DENSE PORTION IS REMOVED AT THE FAR END THROUGH A SECOND EXHAUST PORT IN THE PERIPHERY THEREOF. THE RADII OF A CIRCULAR BODY IN THE CYLINDRICAL CHAMBER UPSTREAM AND ADJACENT THE SECOND EXHAUST PORT AND OF THE CYLINDRICAL CHAMBER ADJACENT THE INLET, DETERINE THE DENSITY VALUE ABOUT WHICH THE SEPARATION TAKES PLACE FOR A SPECIFIC FLOW RATE.
