Abstract

A separator device separates a liquid phase of a second medium, in particular a lubricating medium, from a mixture having a gaseous phase of a first medium, in particular a refrigerant. The separator device includes: a housing which forms a cyclone chamber arranged along a central axis and has an upper end region and a lower end region on opposite sides with respect to the central axis; an immersion tube; and flow guiding means for forming a helical flow in the cyclone chamber around the central axis. An inlet into the cyclone chamber for the mixture of the first and second medium is provided in the upper end region and a first outlet for the first medium and a second outlet for the separated second medium is provided in the lower end region. The immersion tube projects from the lower end region in the central axis into the cyclone chamber.
