Abstract
An apparatus for separating droplets and/or solid particles from a gas. The apparatus includes a shell defining a space. An impeller in the space and a gas inlet duct through the shell are arranged for introducing gas with liquid and/or solid particles into the space. A driving device rotates the impeller. One or several openings are arranged around the shell. At least a major portion of the liquid and/or solid particles exit through the openings and may be carried into a collecting space which may be outside the shell.
