Definitions

  • the opening chamber is filled up with control liquid, which is entrained into the rotation of the rotor.
  • the free liquid surface of the control liquid is then displaced radially inwardly and reaches rapidly a certain radial level, at which the pressure force from the control liquid accumulated in the opening chamber, upon lasting conditions when the control liquid is fully entrained into the rotation of the rotor, would exceed the resulting spring force and open the outlet valve whereby the control liquid would flow out of the closing chamber.
  • the embodiment of a supplying device according the invention shown in figure 3 differs from the embodiment shown in figure 2 in that the conduit 22 for the supply of control liquid from a source of control liquid in this example is connected directly to the storing chamber at the end wall 32 of the cylinder 25 and not via the conduit 19. Furthermore, the end of the second outlet passage 37 turned from the wall element 26 does not open in the axial end surface of the element 31 but in its circumferencial surface at a distance from its axial end. During its displacement axially in the second direction, which is to the right in the figure, the element 31 will close the first outlet passage 33 for a while before the second passage 37 is opened and control liquid can flow out of the storing chamber 29 through the same.
  • the three-way valve 23 Before a supply of control liquid is initiated in order to, for instance, as in the embodiments shown in the figures, open and re-close a passage 7 to let out more or less of the product contents of the separation chamber 5 when needed or at equal time periods, the three-way valve 23 has been set in the position so that the storing chamber 29 is evacuated of its air contents, for a time long enough for the pressure of the control liquid in the conduit to press the wall element 26 in a first direction to its end position towards the end wall 34 of the cylinder 25 and completely refill the storing chamber 29.
  • the conduit 19 opens at a radial level, which is located so much radially outside the radial level of the free liquid surface that there is equilibrium at the opening between the pressure from the rotating liquid body and the pressure from the conduit 22 for the supply of control liquid. Since the wall element 26 presses control liquid out of the storing chamber 29 at a substantially higher pressure the free liquid surface in the inlet 9 will be displaced radially inwardly and be located radially inside the radial level of the overflow outlet 20. This results in that control liquid flows via the overflow outlet 20 into the opening chamber 16 at a flow, which is higher than the flow, which passes out through the throttled outlet 18 whereby the opening chamber 16 gradually is filled up radially inwardly.
