Abstract:
1. An electric motor for driving an inertia separator, comprising: a stator, which is arranged in a stator space enclosed by a stator housing; a rotor, which is arranged in a rotor space concentrically with the stator with regard to an axis of rotation; a ring gap formed radially between the rotor and the stator such that it separates the stator space from the rotor space; an inertia separator including a second rotor operably connected to the rotor; a separator housing containing the second rotor, a housing bottom defines an opening that is oriented towards and fluidly connected to the separator housing; and an outlet channel extending longitudinally along the axis of rotation from the separator housing, through the rotor space and the stator space, the outlet channel extending about the axis of rotation exits out of the stator housing, opposite the separator housing.
