Method and apparatus for separating a gaseous or vaporous mixture according to the separating nozzle principle

Abstract From the Canadian patent

In a method for separating a gaseous or vaporous mixture into components having different molecular weights and/or different gas kinetically effective cross sections by conducting the mixture through a nozzle into a separating chamber and deflecting the mixture in the chamber by mutual jet deflection dividing the deflected mixture into partial streams having respectively different compositions by means of at least one separating baffle which protrudes into the mixture flow path and separately removing the partial streams the mixture is, conducted through the nozzle by being distributed substantially uniformly around the axis of the separating chamber by being fed into the chamber from all …
