Abstract:
A method for conditioning a hydrocarbon liquid by means of processing it with the aid of mechanical effects, that includes:a. supplying the liquid undergoing processing to a cavity of a rotating wheel,b. the expulsion of the liquid undergoing processing from the cavity of the rotating wheel into an annular chamber formed by a peripheral cylindrical surface of said wheel and a concentric surface of a stator, in which casec. the above-mentioned expulsion is accomplished through a series of outlet apertures arranged along the peripheral cylindrical surface of the rotating wheel and uniformly distributed along its periphery, andd. the discharging of the liquid from the annular chamber is effected by means of at least one outlet aperture, wheree. the radius R of the peripheral surface of the rotating wheel is determined by the number K of the outlet apertures according to the empirical relationR=(1.05 . . . 1.28) K (mm),and where the rate of revolution n of the rotating wheel is determined by the aforementioned number K, according to the empirical relationn=(3.6 . . . 4.1) K.sup.-1.5 .times.10.sup.6 (revs./min.).
