A centrifugal separator for separating gas and liquid from a gas-liquid mixture, the centrifugal separator comprising: a housing having a cavity and a gas-liquid mixture inlet leading tangentially into the cavity along an inlet path to form a vortex therein, a separated gas outlet and a separated liquid outlet; and a rotor rotatably mounted to the housing inside the cavity in a manner to be freely rotatable around a rotation axis, the rotor having a hub extending axially along said axis, the rotor having a plurality of vanes extending radially from the hub inside the cavity, the vanes being disposed in the inlet path in a manner so that the rotor is rotated by the gas-liquid mixture during use.

Centrifugal separator

The described air-oil separation apparatus for an oil system of a gas turbine engine includes an oil tank having an oil impingement surface disposed on a tank bottom proximate an oil tank outlet and a centrifugal air-oil separator mounted within the oil tank. The centrifugal air-oil separator has an oil outlet that feeds an impingement nozzle having an outlet oriented, in operation, to eject an oil jet from the centrifugal air-oil separator to impinge the oil impingement surface at an intersection point spaced apart from the oil tank outlet.
