  • Publication number: 20240390917
    Abstract: A centrifugal separator for separating at least one liquid phase from a liquid feed mixture includes a frame, a drive member and a rotating part. The drive member is configured to rotate the rotating part in relation to the frame around an axis of rotation, and the rotating part includes a centrifuge bowl enclosing a separation space. The centrifuge bowl includes an inlet for receiving the liquid feed mixture, and at least one liquid outlet for a separated liquid phase. The separation space includes a stack of separation discs arranged coaxially around the axis of rotation. The separation discs include distance members arranged so that interspaces are formed between adjacent separation discs in the disc stack. A plurality of said separation discs include a throttle member other than the distance members and arranged to cause a decrease in pressure to a liquid flowing through the disc stack in the interspaces.

  • Publication number: 20210260605
    Abstract: A separation disc for a centrifugal separator is adapted to be included in a stack of separation discs inside a centrifugal rotor for separating a fluid mixture. The separation disc has a truncated conical shape with an inner surface and an outer surface and a plurality of spot-formed spacing members extending from at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface. The spot-formed spacing members are for providing interspaces between mutually adjacent separation discs in a stack of separation discs, and the plurality of spot-formed spacing members are tip-shaped and taper from a base at the surface of the separation disc towards a tip extending a height from the surface. A stack of separation discs, a centrifugal separator and a method for separating at least two components of a fluid mixture are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140161745
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a kit of parts for detection and removal of carious dentin tissue comprising: (i) one or more compounds being a hydrazine derivative, and (ii) means for chemical treatment of carious dentin tissue. Further, the invention concerns a preparation containing an active, caries-dissolving two-component liquid in the form of a first active, caries-dissolving component and a second component which reduces the aggressiveness of the active component to mucous membranes, a viscosity increasing substance and one or more compounds being a hydrazine derivative. The hydrazine derivative labels carious dentin tissue selectively and substantially irreversibly in the presence of healthy dentin tissue, which is useful in the context of caries removal.
