Abstract (en)

[origin: ES480485A1] A vertical separator for separating liquid or solid particles from a mixture of the particles and a vapor or a gas, said separator including, inside an outer casing a chamber for admitting the mixture, a plurality of vertical tubes whose ends are provided with fixed blades which impart a helical movement to the mixture and whose outlets are provided with a coaxial tube whose diameter is smaller and which allows dry vapor or gas to be removed in an inner tube and a mixture containing a higher proportion of liquid or solid particles to be removed in the annular space which leads into a free chamber where said mixture which contains a higher proportion of liquid or solid particles is allowed to be separated into substantially dry vapor or gas and a fluid which contains little vapor or gas. At the bottom of said free chamber, the separator has an upwardly convex bottom, an annular space for collecting the fluid which has a low vapor or gas content and passages which are regularly disposed between the tubes and which allow the substantially particle-free vapor or gas to escape upwards. Application to drying steam.
