A centrifugal separator 10 has a base 14, a substantially vertical spindle 16 which is upstanding from the base 12, two or more rotor assemblies 18A, 18B mounted one above the other in series on the spindle 16, a housing 12 comprising a cover 34 enclosing the rotor assemblies 18A, 18B, and a liquid supply duct for supplying the rotor assemblies 18A, 18B with liquid to be cleaned. This arrangement reduces the required head space, i.e. the free space above the separator 10, necessary to remove each of the rotor assemblies 18A, 18B to clean or otherwise service the separator 10 and is particularly applicable to removing contaminant particles from a lubricating oil circuit of an internal combustion engine. |
