Abstract
There is disclosed a gas-liquid separator of the type imparting a swirl to the incoming gas-liquid mixture in order to centrifugally throw liquid droplets out of a main gas flow path. The swirling mechanism comprises a helical screw. The capacity of the separator is selectively reduced by blocking off one or more of the separate and distinct flow paths provided between the flights of the helical screw.
