ABSTRACT:
Swirl tube or chamber apparatus is provided for separating isotope or gas mixtures of a process gas having heavy and light gas fractions intermixed. This apparatus includes a swirl chamber having feed ports issuing tangentially thereinto for feeding processed gas to be effectively centrifuged in the swirl chamber. Extraction elements are provided for extracting the heavy gas fraction from the outer walls of the swirl chamber and for extracting the light gas fraction from the interior of the cylinder near the longitudinal axis thereof. The swirl chamber is a rotatably support chamber which is symmetrically configured with respect to its center. In particularly preferred embodiments, the process gas fed into the swirl chamber also serves to form a bearing cushion for the container, as well as for imparting driving forces to the container to rotate the same.
