Abstract: Gases produced by a combustion engine, e.g. crankcase gases, are conducted through a separation chamber formed and surrounded by a centrifugal rotor, by means of which the gases are caused to rotate, so that particles suspended in the gases are separated by means of centrifugal force. The centrifugal rotor is caused to rotate by means of a pressure fluid that is generated by means of the combustion engine.

Abstract: A centrifugal separator for cleaning of a gas from solid and/or liquid particles suspended therein, includes a stationary housing and a rotor arranged therein. The rotor at its one axial end has a central inlet for gas to be cleaned and delimits a central space communicating with the inlet. Around the central space a stack of conical separation discs is arranged in the rotor. These discs form between themselves several through flow passages which at their one ends communicate with the central space in the rotor and at their other ends communicate directly with a receiving chamber surrounding the rotor in the stationary housing. The rotor supports several turbine blades, which are arranged in a ring around the central inlet of the rotor, and at least one nozzle is adapted to direct a gaseous driving fluid towards the turbine blades for the rotor rotation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bottom hook block system for a given maximum load, for providing differently portative bottom hook blocks for a crane, especially for a heavy lift crane. The bottom hook block system comprises four individual roller blocks (1a-d) with a plurality of pulley blocks, two load hooks (2a, b) and two intermediate links (3a, b) by means of which two individual roller blocks (1a, b or 1c, d) can be combined to a double roller block (4). An equalizing link unit (5) consists of two equalizing links (6, 7) that are interlinked via a joint support (8) with a vertical and at least one horizontal rotational axis. One of the equalizing links (6) is linked via a first horizontal hinge (10a, b) with the two intermediate links (3a, b). The other equalizing link (7) is linked via at least one bearing block (11a, b) with a second horizontal hinge (12a, b) with the two load hooks (2a, b). The load hooks (2a, b) can be swiveled about a vertical rotational axis in the respective bearing block (11a, b).

Abstract: In a vehicle (1) adapted to be propelled by means of an internal com-bustion engine (2) crankcase gases coming from the combustion engine are cleaned by means of a centrifugal separator (11). The rotor of the centrifugal separator (11) is driven by means of pressurized air delivered by a compressor (4), e.g. a so called turbo compressor, which is driven by means of the combustion engine. During periods when the compressor (4) delivers pressurized air in an insufficient amount and/or at insufficient pressure the rotor of the centrifugal separator (11) is instead driven by means of pressurized air coming from a container (9) containing so called auxiliary pressurized air. The auxiliary pressurized air may have a substantially larger pressure than the pressurized air normally delivered by the compressor (4). The combustion engine (2) is used also for accomplishing the overpressure of the auxiliary pressurized air in the container (9).

Abstract: In a centrifugal separator, the rotor (19) of which is adapted to be driven by means of a gaseous driving fluid, the rotor itself supports a ring of turbine blades (34) extending around the rotational axis (R) of the rotor. A stationary nozzle (40) is adapted to direct a flow of the driving fluid towards the ring of turbine members (34). After the driving fluid has passed between the turbine blades (34) and has influenced them for driving of the centrifugal rotor, it enters a reversing chamber (41) formed by a stationary reversing member (42). In the reversing chamber the driving fluid is caused to change its direction and is then conducted again towards the ring of turbine members (34) in order to be utilized a second time for driving of the centrifugal rotor.

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.

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).

Abstract: In order to free a liquid form a substance dispersed therein and having a larger density than the liquid a centrifuge rotor is used having a stack of conical separation discs. Elongated spacing members (11a, 11b) in the spaces between the separation discs are formed such that the liquid flow in the disc interspaces is conducted in a certain way. Thus, the main part of the liquid is conducted in flow paths (12a, 12b), each of which has a direction with one radial component and one component turned against the rotational direction of the rotor.
