Abstract:
A centrifugal separator for separating solid particles suspended in a liquid and collecting the particles in a collection chamber; the separator comprising:a separation cavity includinga truncated conical wall converging in a downward direction to a particle discharge at a small end of the conical wall anda static wall mounted statically at a large upper end of the conical wall to superiorly close the separation cavity;the static wall comprising a plurality of conduits therethrough connecting the closed space to respective mouths on a lower side of the static wall, the mouths facing downward into the separation cavity;the conduits having conduit axes angled obliquely to an axis of the conical wall, whereby the liquid and solid particles are injected into the separation chamber with an axial velocity component and a tangential velocity component;an inlet for the liquid and solid particles to enter the conduits; andan outlet for the liquid freed of the solid particles, the outlet being situated at a superior point in the separation chamber;wherein the particle discharge is adapted for coupling to the collection chamber.
