Publication number: 20190003356Abstract: A valve slide may be used with a separator to separate a fluid such as oil out of a fluid-gas mixture. The valve slide may be insertable into the separator and can be impinged on by a flow of the fluid-gas mixture. To reduce the structural space of the separator, the valve slide may comprise a first slide and at least one second slide for closing and opening inlet openings of the separator. The first slide may be coupled to the second slide to permit simultaneous closing or opening of the inlet openings. The first slide may have a cross section through which the flow of the fluid-gas mixture can pass so as to conduct the fluid-gas mixture onwards to the at least one second slide.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2018Publication date: January 3, 2019Applicants: ThyssenKrupp Presta TecCenter AG, thyssenkrupp AGInventors: Ulf Mueller, Robert Reichelt
