  • a reliable support of the triangular separating elements can thus be ensured against vibrations, so that the gas separation device 20 can be used for example in a motor vehicle.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de séparation de gaz (1) comportant une couche de séparation de gaz (20), un premier volume de gaz (14) et un deuxième volume de gaz (15), la couche de séparation de gaz (20) étant disposée entre le premier volume de gaz (14) et le deuxième volume de gaz (15), la couche de séparation de gaz (20) comportant au moins un passage (22) qui relie le premier volume de gaz (14) et le deuxième volume de gaz (15), le passage (22) s'amincissant du premier volume de gaz (14) vers le deuxième volume de gaz (15) et étant dimensionné pour faire passer un composant (30) du deuxième volume de gaz (15) dans le premier volume de gaz (14). Selon l'invention, le passage (22) forme une ouverture allongée dans la couche de séparation de gaz (20) et/ou comporte une couche de renvoi de gaz (22) sur une surface (33), le passage (22) présentant une largeur d'ouverture minimale (d) représentant sensiblement une fois à vingt fois la longueur de la trajectoire moyenne libre du composant (30) à faire passer du deuxième volume de gaz (15).
