A centrifugal gas/liquid separator for location in a liquid reservoir
comprises a generally cylindrical wall defining a separation chamber
having a closed end, an open end, an inlet in the cylindrical wall for
supplying a gas/liquid mixture into the separation chamber, and a gas
outlet located externally of the separation chamber for discharging gases
from the separator. The separator defines at least one liquid flow path
for conveying separated liquid from the open end of the separation
chamber into a reservoir, and at least one gas flow path for conveying
separated gases from a radially inner region of the open end of the
separation chamber, externally of the separation chamber, to the gas
outlet. The separator is particularly suitable for separating air/oil
mixtures in an oil system of a gas turbine engine.
