A SEPARATOR FOR SEPARATING PARTICLES FROM A FLOW, USE OF SUCH A SEPARATOR AND A METHOD TO SEPARATE PARTICLES FROM A FLOW

摘要

1.The invention discloses a separator (1) for separating particles from a flow, comprising an inlet (2) providing a flow and a first outlet (3) for discharge of said flow (5),said inlet (2)is arranged at a lower position than said first outlet (3), wherein said flow (5) which is ejected from said inlet (2) is adapted to drive at least a part of said flow (5) in an upwards direction through said separator (1) with an upwards directed flow velocity, and said flow (5) comprises a liquid and said particles (6) and said liquid and said particles (6) are adapted to enter said separator (1) from said inlet (2) together, and said separation of at least a fraction of said particles (6) from said liquid occurs as a velocity of vertical descent for said fraction of particles (6) exceed said upwards directed flow velocity. Furthermore, use of said separator and a method to separate particles from a flow are disclosed.
