ABSTRACT:
A device for recovering liquid droplets from a fluid flow stream including a rotatable element comprising wall elements configured to partially enclose a volume with an annular perimeter wall that includes an inside surface radially offset from and facing an axial center, a fixed base wall supports the rotatable element about the axial center, an input fluid conduit delivers the fluid flow stream into the fluid volume, means for rotating the rotatable element for generating a centrifugal force capable of forming a layer of liquid held by the centrifugal force against the inside surface, and an output liquid conduit disposed to collect liquid from the layer of liquid, wherein the layer of liquid rotates with the inside surface with a tangential velocity vector and the collection aperture is fixed in position opposed to the tangential velocity vector such that liquid in the layer of liquid enters the collection aperture.
