Centrifuge rotor inlet device.

摘要

A centrifugal separator has a rotor with an inlet arrangement including a receiving chamber surrounding a stationary inlet tube (7) which extends through an entrainment compartment (6) and opens into a receiving compartment (5) of the receiving chamber.

A deflecting member (15) separates the receiving compartment (5) from the entrainment compartment (6) and defines a passage with the inlet tube (7). Entrainment members (14a; 14b) connected to the rotor serve to entrain liquid in rotation in the entrainment chamber (6) radially outside the level of said passage between the deflecting member (15) and the inlettube (7),there being no substantial entrainment in the receiving compartment (5).
