The centrifugal separator (1) comprises a bowl (3) rotating during operation in a direction of rotation (65) and having a separation chamber (19). A base (131) is provided at a rear longitudinal end of the bowl (3) to define the separation chamber (19). The base (131) comprises a first outlet opening (45) defined in the radial direction at a first level (67) by a weir (43), and the base (131) defines a rear longitudinal area (41) of the centrifugal separator (1). An outlet chamber (37) communicates with the separation chamber (19) through the first outlet opening (45). The outlet chamber (37) is connected with an outlet chamber outlet opening (148), which is opening at a second level (69) below the first level (67) into an exterior (40) of the bowl (3) in a second longitudinal area (50) in front of the rear longitudinal area (41). The outlet chamber outlet opening (148) is provided with an outlet nozzle (59) with an outlet direction opposite the direction of rotation (65), and an overflow inlet opening (55) is present in the outlet chamber (37), which overflow inlet opening (55) is placed at a third level (71) between the first and the second level (67 and 69), and the overflow inlet opening (55) communicates with an overflow outlet opening (57), which is opening into the exterior (40) of the bowl (3) in the second longitudinal area (50). |
