Centrifugal separating apparatus

摘要

Apparatus for separating oil and water from a stream of fluid may include a stationary housing in which is centrally disposed for rotation therein a chamber assembly including an upper and lower chamber. A plurality of U-tube assemblies extend radially outward of the chamber assembly providing a plurality of U-tube paths which are inclined downwardly from the chamber assembly. A power device rotates the chamber assembly and the U-tube assemblies subjecting the stream of fluid to centrifugal forces and separating oil and water into the upper and lower chambers, respectively, for exit therefrom.
