Abstract
An apparatus, for separating liquid droplets out of a feed gas stream, includes a delay vessel for preliminary separation of some of the liquid droplets out of the feed gas stream under gravity, with an inlet line for the feed gas stream and an outlet line for the gas stream which has been depleted of liquid droplets and which flows out of the delay vessel and a tangential supply thereof into a centrifugal droplet separator. The outlet line is arranged in the upper region of the delay vessel and spaced apart from the inlet line to such an extent that the delay time of the gas stream in the delay vessel is at a maximum, and with an outlet line for the liquid separated in the delay vessel at the base thereof.
