Disclosed is a flow separator, typically for use in separating liquid from gas in a flowing mixture of liquid and gas, e.g. water, oil and gas in a hydrocarbon well production fluid pipeline, the separator having a swirl generator disposed at the inlet to a cylindrical separation chamber and the separation chamber having an elongate liquid extraction slot formed along its wall, such that in operation the swirling flow centrifugally pushes the liquid towards the wall of the separation chamber to exit the separation chamber through the extraction slot into a collection chamber which may allow the return of the extracted liquid back into the main flow using a U-shaped tube.

L'invention concerne un séparateur d'écoulement, typiquement utilisé pour séparer un liquide d'un gaz dans un mélange coulant de liquide et de gaz, par ex. de l'eau, de l'huile et du gaz dans un pipeline de fluide de production d'un puits d'hydrocarbures, le séparateur comprenant un générateur de tourbillon disposé à l'entrée d'une chambre de séparation cylindrique, la chambre de séparation comportant une fente d'extraction de liquide allongée formée le long d'une paroi, de façon à ce qu'en service, l'écoulement tourbillonnaire pousse par centrifugation le liquide vers la paroi de la chambre de séparation pour le faire sortir de la chambre de séparation par la fente d'extraction et l'amener dans une chambre collectrice qui peut renvoyer le liquide extrait dans l'écoulement principal grâce à un tube en U.
