Abstract: A device for separating a flowing medium mixture into at least two different fractions with differing average mass density, comprising an elongate separating space which is circle-symmetrical in axial direction and enclosed by a stationary casing (2), wherein the casing is provided with feeds for a mixture for separating and at least two discharges (9, 10) for discharging at least two fractions with differing mass density, and rotation means located in the separating space for causing the mixture to rotate as a vortex in the separating space. Also disclosed is a method for separating a flowing medium mixture.
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for separating a flowing liquid into at least two fractions with differing mass density, comprising: a main tube in the form of a cylinder jacket and having an infeed opening and an outfeed opening; a first swirl element arranged in the main tube for imparting a rotating movement to the fluid flowing through the main tube; a first auxiliary tube placed in the main tube at a distance from the first swirl element; and first discharge means connecting to the jacket of the main tube for discharging a heavier fraction of the fluid. The invention also relates to a method for separating into factions a fluid comprising several fractions.
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for separating a flowing liquid mixture into at least two fractions with differing mass density, comprising: a plurality of plates disposed substantially parallel to each other and a frame engaging at least substantially round the plates. The invention also relates to a throughflow tank provided with such a plate separator device and a method for manufacturing a plate separator device.
