Patent ID: 8052779

Claim:
Centrifugal separator device for concurrent separation of solid and/or liquid particles suspended in gaseous media, comprising a rotor ( 12 ) which is provided with a multiplicity of sedimentation members ( 14 ) and which is mounted rotatably in a surrounding housing ( 20 ), an intake provided for the gaseous medium to be cleaned and leading to a central inlet shaft ( 26 ) of the rotor ( 12 ), the housing ( 20 ) having, on the one hand, an outlet ( 32 ) for cleaned gas which has been freed of solid and/or liquid particles on passage through the sedimentation members ( 14 ) in the rotor ( 12 ), and, on the other hand, an outlet ( 34 ) for the solid and/or liquid particles which have deposited on the sedimentation members and are then transferred to a side wall ( 28 ) of the housing ( 20 ) by a centrifugal force, wherein a nozzle ( 36 ; 38 ) is arranged upstream of the sedimentation members ( 14 ) in order to supply a liquid to the sedimentation members and other internal rotating and fixed elements of the separator.
