Abstract:
1. A centrifugal separator apparatus for separating continuously flowing liquids or gases, wherein components present on entry is absent when the liquids or gases exit the separator, comprising: a rotor with a separation chamber, the separation chamber having an annular cross-section and an uncovered outer surface to provide a centrifugal force in the separation chamber to act in a perpendicular direction to flow of mixture, thereby expelling higher density components directly into an accumulation chamber; a housing with the rotor and the accumulation chamber contained inside, the housing for accumulating and draining off the expelled higher density components; and a control system, the control system for regulating opposing pressure to a separating centrifugal force, thereby limiting an expulsion of median density component, simultaneously expelling high density components and allowing high angular velocities with liquid fluids.
