Abstract
Abstract The separation chamber has a circular cylindrical part with a tangential inlet for the mixture and a central outlet for the light separated fraction, the chamber also having a conical part forming an outlet for the separated heavy fraction. A first guide bar on the wall of said conical part gives the heavy fraction a component of movement directed radially inward, and a second guide bar on said wall between the first bar and the heavy fraction outlet gives the heavy fraction a component of movement directed axially toward the light fraction outlet.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
A hydrocyclone separator for separating a liquids/solids mixture into a light first fraction of relatively low density and a heavy second fraction of relatively high density, the separator comprising means forming a separation chamber having a circular cylindrical part provided with a tangential inlet for said mixture and with a central outlet for said light fraction, the separation chamber also having a conical part forming an outlet for said heavy fraction, a first guide bar located on the wall of said conical chamber part and positioned and dimensioned to give the heavy fraction, flowing helically along said wall, a component of movement directed radially inward, and guide means including a second guide bar extending along said wall between said first guide bar and said heavy fraction outlet and positioned and dimensioned to give the heavy fraction, flowing toward the heavy fraction outlet, a component of movement directed axially toward said light fraction outlet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
153 words
A hydrocyclone separator for separating a liquids/solids mixture into a light first fraction of relatively low density and a heavy second fraction of relatively high density, the separator comprising means forming a separation chamber having a circular cylindrical part provided with a tangential inlet for said mixture and with a central outlet for said light fraction, the separation chamber also having a conical part forming an outlet for said heavy fraction, a first guide bar located on the wall of said conical chamber part and positioned and dimensioned to give the heavy fraction, flowing helically along said wall, a component of movement directed radially inward, and guide means including a second guide bar extending along said wall between said first guide bar and said heavy fraction outlet and positioned and dimensioned to give the heavy fraction, flowing toward the heavy fraction outlet, a component of movement directed axially toward said light fraction outlet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The separator of claim 1, in which said guide means are slanted to also give the heavy fraction, flowing toward the heavy fraction outlet, a component of movement directed radially inward.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
The separator of claim 1, in which said second guide bar forms a screw path running toward the heavy fraction outlet in the direction of rotation opposite to the direction in which the mixture from said tangential inlet rotates.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
The separator of claim 3, in which said screw path, in extending radially inward from said wall of the conical part, slants toward the heavy fraction outlet, thereby also giving the heavy fraction a component of movement directed radially inward.
