<p>The present invention is directed to a novel rotor design employed in a centrifuge for use in separating fluids. The rotor (14) is configured with a separation chamber which comprises a plurality of channels extending axially and radially throughout the separation chamber. Radial plates extending axially and radially throughout the separation chamber at least partially defined the channels. A first weir (76) and second weir (84) extend substantially annularly about the axis of rotation (16) of the rotor. A fluid outlet passageway is also provided through which the second fluid may exit the separation chamber. The fluid outlet passageway comprises a plurality of channels configured to permit radially inward flow and prevent circumferential flow of the second fluid. These channels are at least partially defined by radial partitions which extend axially and radially within the fluid outlet passageway.</p> |
