Abstract: 541,790. Centrifugal machines; oil cleaners. NAPIER & SON, Ltd., D., and POPE, H. W. J. June 10, 1940, No. 10098. [Class 23] Apparatus for de-aerating liquids, especially oils, has a collecting chamber to receive the liquid and in which the froth can accumulate; above the liquid level at a point the froth can reach is arranged a centrifugal separator which separates the liquid from the air in it. In the form shown in Fig. 1 oil to be de-aerated is led into the tank A by the pipe B. A part of the top of the tank is formed by a dome or cone A<SP>2</SP> from which a tube A' extends upwards to a separating chamber E with a conical base E'. An annular trough G is formed between the end of the tube A<SP>3</SP> and the base E'. The separating chamber is closed by a baffle plate H with an annular raised part H' and a vent pipe H<SP>z</SP> leading from it. A motor K is supported above, and this drives the. disc L which constitutes the centrifugal rotor in the separating chamber. Oil in the'tank A passes through the filter D' to the outlet C but the froth rises through the tube A<SP>3</SP> and the chamber E until it meets the rotating disc L. The oil is thrown outwards and drips down the wall E to the trough G from whence it passes through the pipe F to the tank A. In a modification the separating chamber is arranged inside the tank and a baffle plate is placed below the centrifugal rotor. In the modification shown in Fig 3, the liquid enters a chamber N by the pipe B' and passes through one of the filters O, O<SP>1</SP> and the pipe P to the tank A. Here it is warmed by the heaters Q and passes through the filter D' to the outlet C, while the froth rises through the tube A<SP>3</SP> to the separating chamber E with its centrifugal disc L. The de-aerated oil returns to the tank A through the pipe F. The under. side of the disc L may have radial vanes and the disc itself may be of dished form.
