Centrifugal oil separator

摘要

The centrifugal oil separator has an intake (21) for oil-laden air surrounding the horizontal drive shaft (3) for the centrifugal rotor (14). Blades (11) on the rotor impart rotational motion to the air- stream, which flows outward to an annular chamber (24) formed in the housing (2). Oil droplets are flung onto the outer wall of the housing and the oil is drained from a tangential outlet (7) at the bottom. The air flows radially inward past additional blades (12) into a space between the rear wall of the rotor (8) and the rear wall of the housing (15). The cleaned air leaves through an outlet (6) in the rear wall of the housing.
