PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a centrifugal separator which has a high separation performance and can easily suppress a height of a container.SOLUTION: A centrifugal separator 1 has: a container 2 having a central axis C which extends in a vertical direction z; an introduction pipe 4 which is directed toward a position decentered from the central axis C of the container 2, is connected to an introduction opening 3 of a side wall 2c of the container 2, and introduces a two-phase mixed substance containing a substance having a large specific gravity and a substance having a small specific gravity into the container 2; a drain port 5 which is positioned at a lower part of the container 2 and discharges the substance having a large specific gravity separated from the two-phase mixed substance; an exhaust port 6 which is positioned at an upper part of the container 2 and discharges the substance having a small specific gravity separated from the two-phase mixed substance; and an inner member 7 which is positioned in the interior of the container 2. The inner member 7 is positioned between the introduction opening 3 and the drain port 5, and has a clearance 9 between itself and the side wall 2c.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
