Dividing lubricant droplets stream in flow duct - separates lubricant and carrier medium in flow duct cross=sectional, peripheral widening

摘要

The oil droplets are divided in a turbulent air flow by separating the carrier medium from the oil in an enlarged section of the flow duct to form a peripheral oil cushion which can then be divided mechanically in the flow direction into microdroplets. The carrier medium is divided behind the oil separation area into two subflows which entrain the oil droplets regardless of position but in proportion to the carrier medium in each subflow. Pref. the end of the flow duct (7) is enlarged to an annular section (8) and is there adjoined in the flow sense by a porous divider cylinder (5), which transports by pressure gradient and divides the oil into droplets. Two outflow ducts (3,4) at the downstream end of a cylinder are entrained in proportion by the carrier medium subflows. USE/ADVANTAGE - For combined lubrication systems, with simple operation independent of position.
