<p>A centrifugal separator (10) having a separation barrel (11) with an upper end having a closure (30), a lower end, a central axis (13), and an internal circularly cylindrically axially extending wall (12) extending around the central axis (13), the circularly cylindrically axially extending wall (12) forming a separation chamber with a collection chamber adjacent to the lower end. An annular acceptance chamber wall (36) surrounds the separation barrel adjacent (11) to the upper end thereby forming an annular acceptance chamber, a supply nozzle (37) tangentially entering the acceptance chamber to inject a solids-liquid laden stream into the acceptance chamber and forming a circular flow therein. A plurality of radially spaced apart axially-extending slots pass through the wall of the separation barrel (11) to fluidly interconnect the acceptance chamber and the separation chamber. The slots are formed in a plurality of axially-disposed ranks, each rank including a plurality of equally angularly spaced apart slots.</p> |
