Abstract
A gas-liquid separator, especially for use with a submersible well pump, having a substantially conical-shaped mesh member in the path of flow of gas-laden liquid. The majority of the liquid flows through the mesh; gas bubbles are trapped by the mesh and are swept by the flow of the liquid to a location where they are removed with a relatively small amount of bleed liquid from the separator Any particulate foreign matter in the gas-laden liquid, is trapped by the mesh and is swept along with the gas bubbles to the gas removal location.
