Patent number: 10888879Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2016Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: ALFDEX ABInventors: Ronny Jannerstad, Mats-Örjan Pogén, Pedro Hernandez Fraczek

Patent number: 9863296Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2013Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: ALFA LAVAL CORPORATE ABInventor: Mats-Örjan Pogén
