Centrifugal separator with protected bearing

To enable centrifugal filtration of fluids which contain abrasive contaminant particles the rotor bearing (3) must be isolated from the fluid which passes into and through the rotor chamber (21). This is achieved by a design in which the spindle (4) is connected to the rotor so as to rotate in unison with the rotor )5, 6, 7) relative to the base (1). The bearings (3) for the spindle (4) are provided in a bearing housing (2) which is fixedly mounted to the base (1) and a sealing arrangement, preferably a spring-loaded axial seal (14, 15), is provided between the spindle (4) and the base (1) at a location below the bearings (3) in the bearing housing (2).

Centrifugal separator with snap fit separation cone

A separation cone 30 is mounted into the interior chamber of a self-driven centrifugal separator rotor 10, which comprises a cover 14 releasably connected to a base 16, in order to provide a frusto-conical wall subdividing the chamber into upper and lower regions 24, 26. This slows the passage of fluid from the upper 24 to the lower region 26, which takes place via openings 34 and/or via a gap between the inner rim 32 of the cone 30 and the axial inlet tube 12. This in turn improves efficiency of separation of contaminant particles and prevents such particles passing to the base 16, potentially to block an outlet nozzle 20. The separation cone 30 is connected to the cover 14 by a releasable snap fit arrangement, such as by deflectable tabs 38 around the periphery of the separation cone 30 engaging into a groove 15 around the interior surface adjacent a lower edge of the cover 14. This allows there to be a predetermined sequence of servicing operations for maintenance purposes and ensures ...
