An intermediate speed, continuous flow, high capacity liquid centrifuge assembly characterized by a low pressure drop in the process liquid is described. The elongated, vertically oriented rotor contains a central, generally cylindrical core having radially projecting vanes defining a segmented annular cavity between the core and rotor wall. Hollow shafts support the rotor while providing axial inlet and outlet passageways for continuous flow of process liquid through the rotor during operation. Improved design of flow passages from the axial inlet passageway to respective sectors in the segmented annular cavity and from those sectors to the axial outlet passageway provides a significant reduction in pressure drops through the centrifuge. |
