Patent ID: 10046338

Abstract:
A centrifugal liquid separating system broadly comprises an insert cartridge including a housing, an inlet, one or more flow guides, a stator, a compression nozzle, an expansion nozzle, and an outlet. The flow guides guide liquid flowing into the inlet past the stator into the compression nozzle. The stator induces a rotational vortex into the liquid flow. Liquid with heavier particles in the liquid flow is urged to the outside of the rotational vortex. Liquid with lighter particles and cleaner liquid is urged to the inside of the rotational vortex. The compression nozzle and the expansion nozzle are aligned to cooperatively form an annular liquid channel. The liquid with the heavier particles flows through the annular liquid channel and the liquid with the lighter particles and the cleaner liquid flows to the expansion nozzle to the outlet.
