Abstract
A flow separator includes a flow swirling arrangement and a particle collection space disposed in-line with an inlet and an outlet of a flow separator. The flow swirling arrangement includes a bladed arrangement disposed around a flow diverter. The particle collection space is an annular space disposed at an opposite end of a swirl region from the flow swirling arrangement. The annular space is disposed at the radially outward-most portion of the flow passage to collect particles via centrifugal force. A gas conduit may extend from the flow diverter through the particle collection space to separate out gas from the liquid of the input flow.
