Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A separation cone ( 30 ) is mounted into the interior chamber of a centrifugal separator rotor ( 10 ), which comprises a cover ( 14 ) releasably connected to a base ( 16 ), in order to provide a frusto-conical wall subdividing the chamber into upper and lower regions. This slows the passage of fluid from the upper to the lower region, which takes place via openings ( 24 ) and/or via a gap between the inner rim ( 32 ) of the cone ( 30 ) and the axial inlet tube ( 12 ). The separation cone ( 30 ) is connected to the cover ( 14 ) by a releasable snap fit arrangement, such as by deflectable tabs ( 38 ) around the periphery of the separation cone ( 30 ) engaging into a groove ( 15 ) around the interior surface adjacent a lower edge of the cover ( 14 ). This allows there to be a predetermined sequence of servicing operations and ensures that the separation cone ( 30 ) will reliably stay with the cover ( 14 ) when the cover is removed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A self-driven centrifugal separator for removal of particulate matter from fluid, the separator comprising: an elongated central inlet tube having an axis; a substantially cylindrical vessel rotatably mounted onto said central inlet tube to rotate about said axis, said vessel including a base provided with fluid outlet nozzles discharging fluid into in interior of said vessel; an upper cover detachably secured to said base, said cover and base def…
