ABSTRACT:
Known devices for separating liquids using parallel-connected cyclones, when gas flows are fluctuating, have a poor separating action.In the device of the invention, the separating action is conversely improved by providing that the number of separator elements through which the gas flow flows is adapted in each case to the gas flow. When the gas flow is high, there is a flow through more separator elements than when the gas flow is low. In this way, the separator elements are operated closer to the optimal operating point than in the prior art.According to the invention, it is proposed that a closing body (11) of a distributor valve (13) be disposed movably in a distributor conduit (10) and either automatically or by means of a drive mechanism adjusts the optimal number of separator elements (16) through which there is a flow.
