Abstract
An in-line continuous flow liquid-gas separator-pump includes a housing, a rotor, a plurality of tubular flow passages, and a plurality of gas flow passages. The rotor includes a rotor first end, a rotor second end, an outer surface, and an inner surface that defines an inner chamber in fluid communication with the purge gas outlet. The tubular flow passages are formed in the rotor and extend between the rotor first end and the rotor second end. Each tubular flow passage includes a fluid inlet that is disposed adjacent the rotor first end and in fluid communication with the liquid/gas inlet, and a fluid outlet that is disposed adjacent the rotor second end and is in fluid communication with the liquid outlet. The gas flow passages are formed in the rotor, and each provides fluid communication between one of the tubular flow passages and the inner chamber.
