<p>A centrifugal separator (10) for separating separable constituents of a fluid to be separated, includes a body (12) rotatable about an axis, the body having a cavity (22) therein. A divider (28) divides the cavity into a first sub-cavity (24) arranged for fluid to flow in a direction having a radial component and a second sub-cavity (26) arranged for fluid to flow in a direction having a component that is towards the axis of rotation. An inlet (58) leads into the first sub-cavity at or near the axis of rotation of the body. A first outlet (52) is in communication with a settling region (34) of the cavity between or connecting the first sub-cavity to the second sub-cavity. A second outlet (50) leads from the second sub-cavity at or near the axis of rotation of the body.</p> |
