A cyclone-type separator comprises a hollow cylindrical main body in to
which liquid containing foreign matter is introduced, a clean room
provided in an upper end of the main body, a communication pipe which
connects the clean room to an interior of the main body, and a porous
separating pipe arranged in the clean room. As the liquid swirls in the
main body, an eddy stream is generated. A columnar air layer and a clean
liquid layer are formed, both aligned with the centerline of the eddy
stream. The air layer and the liquid layer are guided via the
communication pipe into the separating pipe. At the bottom of the clean
room, there are provided a first reservoir for storing the liquid coming
through the separating pipe, a second reservoir for storing the liquid
flowing from the first reservoir, and a coolant outlet port for
discharging the clean liquid.
