In order to subject a valve within the rotor of a centrifugal separator to a certain liquid pressure, the rotor being supported by a vertical drive shaft (13), a liquid surface is maintained during operation of the rotor very close to the axis of the rotor, this surface being formed within a central channel (12) through said drive shaft (13). The lower end of the drive shaft, in which the channel (12) opens axially through an orifice (31) having its surrounding edge at the desired radial level for the liquid surface, is rotated in a liquid body which is kept in a container (25) below the drive shaft (13). |
