  • Patent number: 6080098
    Abstract: In a centrifugal rotor there is an inlet chamber (7), a separation chamber (8) and an outlet chamber (10), which chambers are coupled in series. A stationary outlet member (16) is arranged to remove from a predetermined level in the outlet chamber (10) separated liquid during normal operation of the centrifugal rotor. For internal cleaning of the centrifugal rotor there is arranged within the outlet chamber (10) inside said predetermined radial level a preferably stationary reconducting member (26) that is dimensioned to accomplish a recirculation flow of cleaning liquid through said chambers (7, 8, 10) in the centrifugal rotor, which circulation flow is substantially larger than the flow of liquid which during normal operation of the centrifugal rotor passes through these chambers.

  • Patent number: 5779619
    Abstract: Centrifugal separator comprising a rotor, which forms an inlet and an outlet chamber (17) surrounding the rotational axis, in which a liquid present therein rotates around the rotational axis with a radially inwardly directed free cylindrical liquid surface. A stationary discharge device (21) extends in the outlet chamber (17) from the rotating liquid body radially inwardly to a central outlet (25) and forms a flow channel (26) with an inlet opening (23).

  • Patent number: 5735789
    Abstract: A centrifugal separator to clean a liquid from a substance having a lower density than the liquid comprises a rotor forming a separation chamber (6), in which a stack of conical separation discs (15) is arranged. Liquid and substance dispersed therein flow radially outwards in interspaces between the discs. To increase the separation capability upon a high flow through the separator, the separation discs (15) have a radial inner zone (29a), which has no obstacles for primary flow in the circumferential direction and a radial outer zone (28a), which has so many equally around the rotational axis distributed elongated and through the outer zone (28a) extending obstacles (27a) for liquid flow in circumferential direction that the primary flow in this zone (28a) takes place radially outwards between the obstacles (27a).

  • Patent number: 5405307
    Abstract: Centrifugal separator comprising a rotor, which forms an inlet for the liquid which is to be centrifugally treated and an outlet chamber (17) for a liquid separated in the rotor, the outlet chamber (17) surrounding the rotational axis and being so designed that liquid present in the outlet chamber during operation rotates around the rotational axis and has a radially inward facing circular free liquid surface at a certain radial level in the rotor. A stationary discharge device ( 21 ) extends in the outlet chamber (17) from the liquid body radially inward to a central outlet (25) and in the area of the free liquid surface it forms an inlet opening (23), which is directed toward the rotational direction of the liquid body and partly is located in the liquid body, the discharge device also forming a flow channel (28), which connects the inlet opening (23) to the central outlet.
