3.5 Outlet / inlet (twin
phase separators)
3.5.1 Outlet pumps
The pumps are fixed on to the top of the bowl and
thus follow its rotation. They provide the
necessary pressures for the heavy phase and the
light phase. It is assumed that the separator is
supplied with adequate inlet pressure.
3.5.2 Inlet device
The required inlet pressure is obtained directly
from the supply pipe of the separator. If
necessary, an external pump can be located
before the separator.
3.5.3 Axial seals
The connection of the inlet and outlets to the bowl
is made airtight (hermetic) by means of axial
seals. There are three seals for the outlets and
one for the inlet.
An axial seal consists of a rotary wear ring and a
non-rotary sealing element.
1. Coil spring
2. O-ring
3. Support for wear ring
4. L-shaped rubber
5. Wear ring
6. Sealing element
7. L-shaped rubber
