Abstract
A device for separating fluid mixtures, in particular for separating water from oil, includes a vacuum container () with several sub-chambers (). At least one liquid constituent of the fluid mixture can be transported from the vacuum container after separation, by a transport device (). The other constituents can be extracted from the vacuum container () in the form of gas and/or steam, using a vacuum pump (). One of the sub-chambers () of the vacuum container () houses a heating device (), which heats the fluid mixture. The fluid mixture is guided into an additional sub-chamber (), and is separated into its constituents by traversing a packed bed. Even cold and consequently viscous fluid mixtures can be supplied, due to the heating device, for separation inside the aforementioned vacuum container.
