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.

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.

Abstract: The present invention provides a centrifugal separator (14) for separation of at least two components of a fluid mixture which are of different densities. The centrifugal separator (14) comprises a stationary frame (15), a spindle (16) rotatably supported by the frame, a centrifuge rotor 17 mounted to a first end of the spindle to rotate together with the spindle around an axis (X2) of rotation, wherein the centrifuge rotor comprises a rotor casing enclosing a separation space (18) in which a stack (10) of separation discs (1) is arranged to rotate coaxially with the centrifuge rotor, a separator inlet (29) extending into said separation space for supply of the fluid mixture to be separated, a first separator outlet (33) for discharging a first separated phase from said separation space, a second separator outlet (34) for discharging a second separated phase from said separation space.

Abstract: A stack of separation discs is adapted to be included inside a centrifugal rotor for separating a liquid including a plurality of axially aligned separation discs having a truncated conical shape with an inner surface and an outer surface and a plurality of spot-formed spacing members extending from a base from at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface for providing interspaces between mutually adjacent separation discs in the stack of separation discs. The plurality of separation discs having spot-formed spacing members are arranged so that a majority of said spot-formed spacing members of a disc are displaced compared to the spot-formed spacing members of an adjacent disc. A centrifugal separator including such a stack of separation discs is also disclosed.

Abstract: A separation disc for a centrifugal separator and a method for manufacturing the separation disc are disclosed. The separation disc is of metal material and adapted to be compressed in a stack of separation discs inside a centrifugal rotor for separating a liquid mixture. The separation disc has a truncated conical shape with an inner surface and an outer surface and a plurality of spacing members extending a certain height above at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface for providing interspaces between mutually adjacent separation discs in the stack. The spacing members are of such small size that each one of them has a width which is less than 2 mm along the surface of the separation disc. The surface of the separation disc is configured with a distribution pattern of the small-sized spacing members, in such a way as to provide equidistant interspaces in the compressed disc stack.
