Title: Centrifugal oil filter with separation funnel arrangement
Inventor: COX IAN MALCOLM
IPC: B04B7/12
Filed: 1998-08-25
Abstract: A self-powered centrifugal separator for removing particulate contaminants from engine lubricant includes a rotor cannister 20 which is spun at high speed about a vertical axle 15 by ejection of the lubricant supplied to the cannister at elevated pressure. The cannister is separated into upper separation chamber 33 and lower outflow chamber 34 by an annular partition wall 30 which defines a transfer aperture between the chambers by its radially inner edge. The edge of the partition wall also supports concentrically within the separation chamber a separation funnel arrangement 50 having an inclined surface 51 supporting alternate separation ribs 56 and scavenging apertures 57. Liquid entering the separation chamber is directed radially outwardly and under pressure gradient moves inwardly along the inclined surface.
