JOHAN E. A. GRAAE United States Patent CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATOR Johan E. A. Graae, St. Germain-en-Laye, France Application November 7, 1952, Serial N 0. 319,307 Claims priority, application France May 24, 1952 7 Claims. (Cl. 233-7) This invention relates to centrifugal separators and it has for its object to provide a centrifuging device for effecting the separation of mixtures of solids and fluids, constituting an improvement on the centrifugal separators hitherto in use.
The apparatus of this kind now on the market have the drawbacks of consuming a large amount of power for the driving thereof, of only slowly effecting the centrifuging, and of not permitting high working speeds.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide an apparatus with which a continuous flow of the separated constituents, and particularly of the denser or solid constituents, may be obtained.
Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus of the kind referred to requiring but a relatively moderate expenditure of driving power.
Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus of the kind referred to by means of which centrifuging may be carried out more quickly than with the similar apparatus in use.
The apparatus according to the invention essentially comprises a rotated centrifuge chamber within which are disposed rotating vanes turning at a speed which is slightly different from that of the chamber and so arranged that the said vanes scrape the surface of the chamber and detach from it the deposit of denser constituents which tend to collect at the periphery and bring them to outflow passages directed towards the axis of the apparatus, by means of which they are discharged.
In this apparatus, the vanes constitute two series of compartments in which the mixture subjected to centrifuging enters in succession, this mixture restoring in the second series of compartments, the energy which has been imparted to it in the first, thereby ensuring operation with a minimum consumption of energy.
In the apparatus which forms the object of the invention, the discharge of the denser constituents is obtained without any mechanical device, such as a conveying screw or other device. The discharge of the denser constituents, in apparatus embodying the present invention, results from the fact that the inlet for the mixture admitted to the centrifuge is disposed closer to the axis of rotation of the latter than is the orifice through which the denser constituents are discharged, thereby providing a driving potential or pressure gradient pushing the denser constituents out of the discharge orifice.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, which represent, by way of example only, preferred embodiments of the invention:
Fig. 1 is a vertical section through the axis of rotation along I-I of Fig. 2;
Fig. 2 is a section of Fig. 1 along IIII;
Fig. 3 is a side elevation on a smaller scale;
Fig. 4 is a corresponding end elevation;
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view along the axis of another embodiment of the persent invention;
Fig. 6 is a sectional view along VI-VI of Fig. 5; and
2,743,865 Patented May 1, 1956 Fig. 7 is a sectional view along the axis of still another embodiment of the present invention.
As it is seen on these drawings, the improved apparatus comprises a centrifuge chamber 1 constituted by two cones having a common base, and provided with sleeves 2 and 3 mounted on ball bearings 4 and 5. In this chamber 1 is housed a rotative asernbly composed of a certain number of flat vanesor wings 6, disposed in radial planes passing through the axis of rotaion, each vane having a contour such that it corresponds to the internal shape of the chamber 1. These vanes 6 arerigidly secured together by a plate 7 arranged perpendicular to the axis of rotation and by cones 8 and 8a each provided with hollow shaft extensions 9 and 10, respectively, and supported in bearings 11 and 12, respectively. The said vanes 6 divide the internal capacity of the rotor into radial compartments.
A driving shaft 13, driven in any suitable manner, drives the chamber 1 and the rotative internal assembly, by means of pinions 14, 15 and 16, 17 so that the rotor and the vanes revolve with slightly different speeds, gears 14 and 15 driving the chamber 1 at a slower speed than gears 16 and 17 drive the vane assembly in the form illustrated in Fig. 1. p
A fixed neck 18 on the axis of rotation of the centrifuge chamber constitutes the inlet for the product to be subjected to centrifuging; another neck 19 on the same axis is the outlet through which the least dense constituents are discharged after centrifuging. Passages 20 lead from the periphery of the centrifuge chamber radially inward and terminate at locations spaced more or less from the axis of rotation to convey the denser constituents into an annular chamber 21, whence they are discharged by a neck 22.
All the members are enclosed .in housings 2'7, 28, 29, which protect the rotating parts and support the bearings.
The apparatus works as follows:
The product to be centrifuged, which may be a gaseous fluid loaded with dust, a liquid containing solid particles in suspension, a sludge, or the like, is introduced atthe neck 18 and enters the radial compartments 30 situated between the vanes 6 and plate 7 through the hollow shaft 9. The rotated vanes 6 carry the product along, and the denser constituents of the product are centrifugally driven towards the periphery of the chamber 1.
In being displaced with respect to the chamber 1, the vanes scrape the surface of the latter and bring the denser constituents to the entrance of the discharging passages 20 which conduct them to the chamber 21 whence they issue through the neck 22.
Due to the fact that the inlets to compartments 30 are closer to the axis of the centrifuge than the outlets of the passages 20 there is a driving potential tending to discharge whatever enters at the inlet of the passages 20 through these passages.
By selecting a suitable distance from the axis for the outlets of passages 20 a suitable rate of discharge can be obtained and this can again be controlled by means of valves placed at the outlets of these passages.
A very accurate and steady control is possible as a consequence.
The valves may be controlled electrically, hydraulically or mechanically.
Since the discharge pressure can be reduced to any degree desired simply by selecting a suitable distance from the axis of the centrifuge for the outlets of passages 20, the .valves can have relatively large control-openings so that clogging can be avoided.
"ice
The least dense constituents pass into the compartments 31, then issue through the hollow shaft 10' and the outlet neck 19. In the compartments 31, the product imparts to the centrifugal apparatus the rotational energy it had received in the compartments 30.
Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate adifferent embodiment of the invention in which the two cones I are separated and connected through a cylindrical drum 40. The vanes 6 are carried by a drum 41 which is smaller than the drum 40. Around said vanes a helicoidal band 42 is wound which acts as a screw-conveyor scraping the inner surface of the centrifuge-bowl 4d and carrying the deposited solids toward the the discharge passages 20 (of which there are two (2 or more, diametrically opposed).
Fig. 7 illustrates another embodiment in which the centrifuge chamber is also composed of two cones I and a cylindrical drum 40. Inside the drum are partitions 43 defining what may be called annular funnels.
The shape of the vanes 6' is designed to sweep the surface of the funnels. Openings 44 made in the bottonr of the funnels permit the discharge of the denser products through the ducts 20 as in the previously described embodiments.
It is understood that the above particulars are only given in the way of examples and that the details of execution, shape, dimensions and materials employed may vary without departing from the scope of the invention.
