  • Publication number: 20230415169
    Abstract: A centrifugal separator for cleaning gas containing contaminants includes a stationary casing, a gas inlet, a rotating member including a plurality of separation members, a gas outlet, a drainage outlet arranged in the lower portion of the stationary casing and a drive member for rotating the rotating member. The axial inner side surface of the stationary casing incudes at least one straight recess extending in the axial direction for accumulating oil that has been separated in the plurality of separation members. The at least one recess includes a first radial recess surface extending from the axial inner side surface of the stationary casing. The at least one recess extends axially on the inner side surface at least along the axial length of the radially outermost portion of the separation members.

  • Publication number: 20230415171
    Abstract: A centrifugal separator for cleaning gas containing contaminants includes a stationary casing, a gas inlet, a rotating member, a gas outlet including an outlet opening through a wall of the stationary casing, a drainage outlet arranged in the lower portion of the stationary casing, a drive member for rotating the rotating member, and a stationary axial surface extending into the separation space. The rotating member includes a rotatable axial surface arranged radially outside the stationary axial surface. The rotatable axial surface is arranged at the gas inlet such that liquid contaminants present in the gas to be cleaned is pressed against the rotatable axial surface during operation. The rotating member includes a brim portion extending radially inwards from the rotatable axial surface and forms a ring-shaped sealing gap between the rotating member and the stationary axial surface.

  • Patent number: 10888879
    Abstract: An arrangement for cleaning gas includes a centrifugal separator and pre-separation unit. The centrifugal separator includes a stationary casing, enclosing a separation space through which a gas flow is permitted, a gas inlet extending through the stationary casing and permitting supply of the gas from the pre-separation unit, a rotating stack of separation disks, a gas outlet and a drainage outlet for discharging separated liquid impurities. The pre-separation unit is arranged upstream of said inlet of said centrifugal separator, and it comprises a pre-separation inlet having a cross-sectional area A2 and permitting supply of the gas to be cleaned. A2 is larger than the cross-sectional area A1 of the inlet to the separation space of the centrifugal separator. A pre-separation outlet permits supply of gas from the pre-separation unit to the gas inlet of the centrifugal separator.

  • Patent number: 10675640
    Abstract: A centrifugal separator is configured for cleaning of crankcase gases from an internal combustion engine. The centrifugal separator includes a rotor rotatably arranged inside a stationary housing. The stationary housing includes an inlet for crankcase gases, a gas outlet, and a liquid outlet. The rotor includes a stack of separation discs, each separation disc of the stack of separation discs having a center axis, an inner surface, and an outer surface. A circumferential inner end surface extends between the inner surface and the outer surface. The circumferential inner end surface of at least one separation disc of the stack of separation discs includes a substantially flat first surface portion extending at an angle of at least 20 degrees to the center axis.

  • Patent number: 9863296
    Abstract: A centrifugal separator for cleaning crankcase gas, containing oil, from an internal combustion engine, includes a stationary casing defining a separation space and including a first end portion, an opposite second end portion and an inner wall surface facing the separation space. The separator also includes an inlet channel for the gas to be cleaned, a gas outlet channel for the cleaned gas and an oil outlet for the separated the oil. A centrifuge rotor is provided in the separation space and includes a spindle and a plurality of separation discs carried by the spindle. The centrifuge rotor is rotated to create a rotating gas volume. An oil supply device supplies such a quantity of oil to the separation space that a flowing oil film is created on the inner wall surface during operation of the centrifugal separator.

  • Patent number: 8747503
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a separator and more specifically, but not exclusively, to a centrifugal separator for the cleaning of a gaseous fluid. A centrifugal separator is provided as comprising a housing defining an inner space, and a rotor assembly for imparting a rotary motion onto a mixture of substances to be separated. The rotor assembly is located in said inner space and is rotatable about an axis relative to the housing. The rotor assembly comprises an inlet for receiving said mixture of substances, an outlet from which said substances are ejected from the rotor assembly during use, and a flow path for providing fluid communication between the inlet and outlet, wherein the outlet is positioned more radially outward from said axis than the inlet.
