A device for separating liquids from gases with a multiplicity of channels with inlets at an inlet plane, linear segments extending from the inlet plane to helical segments and linear outlet segments extending away from the helical segments. The channels are of uniform cross section across their entire length and in a plane perpendicular to the inlet plane for an undulating profile in projection and an undulating profile in projection in a plane perpendicular to both these latter planes and the inlet plane. The projections of the channel in these planes perpendicular to the inlet plane are offset in phase. The result is a true three-dimensional deflection of the fluid traversing each channel.

[ I claim:] [1.] A device for separating fluid droplets from a gaseous flow, said device comprising a plurality of flow channels running parallel to one another, and having inlet openings lying in an inlet plane, and, helical segments extending from said inlet openings, the channels each being capable of deflection of fluid flowing therethrough at least capable of inducing separation, the cross section of each channel in a first plane parallel to the inlet plane, ignoring thickness of the channel walls, being equal to the cross section of the other channels in said first plane and uniform along the length of the channel and tangents drawn to the edges of the cross sections lying in said first plane being parallel to one another at their corresponding points, profiles of the flow channels projected into a second plane perpendicular to said first plane having an undulatory course, profiles of the flow channels projected into a third plane perpendicular to both said first plane and said second plane having an undulatory course, and phases of said profiles of the flow channels projected into the second plane and the third plane being displaced to one another in order to achieve a three-dimensional deviation of the flow channels.
