3.6 Outlet / inlet (single
phase separators)
3.6.1 Outlet pump
The pump is fixed on to the top of the bowl and
thus follows its rotation. It provides the necessary
pressure for the clarified phase. It is assumed that
the separator is supplied with adequate inlet
pressure.
3.6.2 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.
3.6.3 Axial seals
The connection of the inlet and outlet to the bowl
is made airtight (hermetic) by means of axial
seals. There is one seal for the outlet and one for
the inlet.
An axial seal consists of a rotary wear ring and a
non-rotary sealing element.
1. Coil spring
2. Support for wear ring
3. L-shaped rubber
4. Wear ring
5. Sealing element
6. L-shaped rubber
