Impulse centrifuge with monitoring device for centrifuge function e.g. for installing in oil circulation of combustion engine, has rotor mounted in zone of capacitor electric field

摘要

An impulse centrifuge, has a housing structure (19) with a feed/supply (18) and a run-off (23) for the centrifuged liquid, a rotatably mounted rotor (20) communicating with the feed/supply(18) and having at least one drive nozzle (22) for the centrifuged liquid. The device used for monitoring the function of the centrifuge consists of a capacitor, in which the rotor (20) is mounted in the zone of influence of the capacitor's electric field, and a device is provided for evaluating the influence of the rotor on the capacitance of the capacitor.
