Abstract:
A method of cleaning gases, which have been produced by a combustion engine (1), from at least one of solid and liquid particles suspended therein, the gases being conducted through a separation chamber formed and surrounded by a rotating member (R), by means of which the gases are caused to rotate, so that particles in the separation chamber are separated from the gases by means of centrifugal force, comprising:supplying a pump; employing the combustion engine (1) to drive said pump (16;22;28); presenting lubricating oil intended for lubricating the combustion engine (1) to said pump and using at least a part of the pumped lubricating oil to drive said rotating member (R); thereby causing the pressurized fluid to drive the rotating member (R).
