Abstract

Automatic separator of oil from condensate water, comprising at least one container 21, filled with substantially calm water, arranged below and in hydraulic communication with an expansion chamber 12, said expansion chamber 12 being associated with a pipe 11 for feeding the condensate water to be cleaned, the decompression of the condensate water and the separation between its liquid phase and its gaseous phase taking place in said expansion chamber 12, said gaseous phase being discharged into the atmosphere following deviation and following filtration, said liquid phase shifting by gravity inside the container 21 in which it is subject to a compulsory path, said compulsory path having at least one first coalescence filter 26 and at least one second coalescence or activated carbon filter 34 arranged inside respective container cylinders 25, 33 in hydraulic communication with one another, the separation of the oil taking place by gravity, there also being a relief device 29 associated with an oil discharge pipe 30 and a water discharge pipe 39 associated with the outlet of the second coalescence or activated carbon filter 34, frontally with respect to the outlet 42 of the pipe 11 in the expansion chamber 12 and in a position close to said outlet 42, there being a cuspid separator baffle 13 for the separation of the flow entering in two distinct currents 14a, 14b with mutually opposing centrifugal movement 14a, 14b. <IMAGE>
