Summary: | A vortex separation device for separating components of a fluid stream comprising a separator unit 802 in which separation of the fluid occurs, a fluid inlet 804a for introducing a pressurised source of the fluid to be separated into the separator unit, one or more channels for reducing turbulence in the fluid stream and a vortex-creating device 812 for introducing a vortex to the fluid stream. The vortex-creating device is preferably a plate with angled channels 816, the channels are typically arranged equidistantly about a central axis around which the fluid is to be rotated. Also disclosed is a vortex separation device that includes one or more guide walls 814 defining channels for reducing turbulence in the fluid stream, wherein downstream ends of the guide walls are angled so as to introduce a vortex to the fluid stream. |
