Abstract

A centrifugal separator for separating gas bubbles from a liquid incorporates a spiral liquid passage with inlet and outlet ends as defined by a top plate, a bottom plate and a strip spirally coiled between the plates and otherwise constructed so that by utilizing the low specific gravity of the bubbles and centrifugal force acting thereon, the bubbles are directed into a bubble trapping compartment for removal.
