Abstract

A cyclone type, gas-liquid separator has a gas lead-through pipe penetrating an upper end wall of a cyclone chamber and extending downward to have a gas outlet in the cyclone chamber. A generally annular baffle plate is provided on an outer circumference of the gas lead-through pipe in the vicinity of the gas outlet to generally divide. the inside of the cyclone chamber into upper and lower. spaces. Accordingly, swirl flow formed in the upper space is prevented from being drawn directly by a negative pressure of the gas lead-through pipe without swirling sufficiently, so that separation efficiency is improved.
