Cyclonic separator with a volute outlet duct

摘要

The invention relates to a cyclonic separator comprising a throat portion (4) arranged between a converging fluid inlet section and a diverging fluid outlet section, to generate a swirling fluid flow in a downstream direction. The diverging fluid outlet section comprises an inner primary outlet (7) for condensables depleted fluid components and an outer secondary outlet for condensables enriched fluid components (6). The cyclonic separator comprises a volute diffuser (9, 9′) connected to one of the outlets (6, 7), which comprises a volute outlet duct (90, 90′) defined by a volute axis (I1), forming a spiral shape around the central axis (I). The outlet duct (90, 90′) comprises a vortex chamber 95. The vortex chamber is provided to transform axial momentum of the swirling fluid flow with respect to the central axis (I) into tangential momentum with respect to the volute axis (I1).
