Abstract

A linear gas separator includes an elongated housing having an outer peripheral sidewall, an inner peripheral sidewall, a central gas flow passage defined by the inner peripheral sidewall and a peripheral gas flow passage defined by a space between the inner peripheral sidewall and the outer peripheral sidewall. A center rod extends along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end. A vortex generator creates a Burger's vortex which causes a density gradient of gases circulating around the center rod. Lighter gases exit through a first outlet approximately aligned with the longitudinal axis. Heavier gases pass along the peripheral gas flow passage and exit through a second outlet.
