4.3 The Process Section
The separation process takes place inside
the rotating separator bowl. The feed and
outlet of process liquid takes place in the in
and outlet unit on top of the separator
frame hood.
Inlet and outlet
The inlet and outlet unit consists of the
following parts:
A connection house for pipe connections.
A pipe with a paring disc and a paring tube is
located inside the connection house. The pipe
has channels for incoming and outgoing process
liquid.
The paring disc and paring tube pump the
cleaned oil and water respectively out of the
bowl.
The paring tube can move radially. During
separation it surfs on the liquid surface. It is
balanced by a spring.
Under certain operating conditions, the paring
tube radial position can be locked in place by
two adjustable screws on the connection house.
The paring disc and tube are located inside and
at the top of the separator bowl.
The inlet and outlet device is held together
against the frame hood by a nut on the end of
the inlet pipe.
Height adjusting rings determine the height
position of the paring disc and paring tube
relative to the bowl.
