A DEVICE FOR THE SUPPLY OF LUBRICATION OIL FOR A CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATOR

摘要

The invention refers to a device for the supply of lubrication oil for centrifugal separator. The device includes a spindle (3), which is arranged to carry a centrifuge rotor of said centrifugal separator and is rotatably journalled in at least one bearing member (5) about a centre axis (Z), and an oil container (8), which is arranged to contain a quantity of oil. The spindle extends from the centrifuge rotor to the oil container in such a manner that at least an end portion of the spindle is located in said quantity of oil. The spindle forms a longitudinal channel (29), which has an orifice in said end portion and which is arranged to transport an oil flow through the channel (29). The channel includes a distribution member (31), which is arranged to divide a first selected amount of said oil flow for further transport to said bearing member (5) and to convey the remaining amount of said oil flow out of the channel (29) for being returned to the oil container (8).
