Claim 1
Independent Claim
225 words
In a process for separating and/or precipitating of solid and/or liquid particles (disperse phase) from gaseous and/or liquid media (continuous phase) as well as for separating mixed gases (gas-gas-separation) and/or mixed fluids (fluid-fluid-separation) as well as for screening and/or classifying by means of centrifugal force in a vortex chamber separator, from where the specifically lighter fraction is removed by suction through two suction tubes in the central region of the vortex chamber separator; the improvement comprising decreasing flow resistance at generation of moment of momentum by adjusting the contact flow between main flow and eddy within a casing of the vortex chamber separator in such a way that a tangential initial impulse in bottom flow is increased by decreasing bottom flow impulse secondarily circulating in the vortex chamber, reducing loss of impulse by means of a dissipative drop of pressure of the flow in a main channel of the separator by producing a bottom flow with a rotationally symmetric main flow having a substantially constant average speed, passing a clean gas flow through suction tubes having increasing cross sections extending axially within the vortex chamber after the clean gas flow passes along the outside of the suction tubes with increasing speed toward inlet sections of the suction tubes and with flow being affected by only small meridian deviations in zones of extremely high flow speed.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
Process according to claim 1, comprising achieving a rotationally symmetric bottom flow by means of a spiral curvature of at least one of a main flow channel casing and a vortex chamber casing.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
70 words
Process according to claim 1, wherein the passing of the clean gas flow along the outer side of the suction tubes is performed with rotationally symmetric suction tubes having a linearly or degressively decreasing side curvature and wherein the increasing cross sections of the suction tubes, through which the clean gas flow is passed linearly or progressively, increase due to the curvature of the inner sides of the suction tubes.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
Process according to claim 3, wherein the passing of flow through the suction tubes is performed so as to achieve a circular flow within the suction tubes.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
42 words
Process according to claim 4, comprising converting of the circular flow in the suction tubes to a well flow with a lower flow rate in an outlet zone of the suction tubes after deviating the circular flow by means of guiding blades.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
Process according to claim 1, comprising concavely curving eddy flow and main flow and passing said flows to a flow edge producing vertical secondary speeds at both sides of the flow edge so as to be parallelly arranged and locally the same.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
35 words
Process according to claim 1, comprising causing main flow to enter eddy via tangential flow inlets that are parallelly arranged relative to the axis of the eddy and are as high as the vortex chamber.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
Process according to claim 1, comprising causing main flow to enter eddy via regularly arranged tangential flow inlets that are disposed at different radial distances relative to the center axis of the eddy.
