Abstract: Devices for separating dispersed particles from gases or vapors by centrifugal force are disclosed. The vortex tube comprises a body, an inlet duct, outlet ducts for the cold and hot gases, a liquid discharge duct, and a power separator. The inlet duct has a device for the introduction of methanol. The body comprises a vortex generator at the inlet duct. The body comprises a separator and a diaphragm with an inner conical surface, both defining an annular channel. The surface of the streamlined end of the separator comprises flutes. The separator is mounted to be capable of moving along the axis of the body and is pressed against the diaphragm by a spring. The inner portion of the body and the outer portion of the separator define a liquid chamber. A vortex reducer having a cross shape is mounted on the end of the power separator opposite the body.
