Definitions

  • the invention relates to a centrifugal separator.
  • Centrifugal separators are commonly known and are generally used for separating particles from a dispersion comprising said particles.
  • a dispersion can be considered as a system in which particles are dispersed in a continuous phase of a different composition, e.g. a mud comprising clay particles in water, algae particles in water, contaminant particles in lubricant, water in oil.
  • a dispersion may comprise two or more phases, such as a dispersed phase and a continuous phase.
  • the dispersed phase may be solid or liquid.
  • the continuous phase is a fluid, viz. a gas or a liquid, usually a liquid.
  • a dispersion is a fluid comprising one or more components.
  • the components may be for example solid particles dispersed in the fluid or may be liquid particles dispersed in a fluid.
  • centrifugal separator creates an artificial field of gravity by using the centrifugal force. Due to the difference in specific gravity of the different components in the dispersion, one or more components may be separated and collected.
  • a drawback of the known centrifugal separators is that they are more effective at an outer region of the separator. The dispersion may need to travel a significant distance after being supplied to the centrifugal separator to reach the more effective region of the separator. When part of the dispersion does not pass this most effective region, the separation may therefore be inefficient and/or ineffective.
  • US-A-3 810 347 describes a centrifugal separator for separating three phase mixtures, comprising an inner barrel and an outer drum, weirs and septa, wherein the septa acts to fix the inner barrel to the outer drum.
  • US- A-3 810 347 does not disclose that the outer drum of the centrifuge separator is removable.
  • the separation of solids from a mixture described in US-A- 3 810 347 is by means of an inverted weir with an external valve arranged longitudinally within the centrifuge. The solids are deposited by centrifugal force on the inner wall of the outer drum and are periodically removed via the external valve.
  • US-A-3 810 347 does not disclose that the septa collects or accumulates any solids.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a centrifugal separator that obviates at least one of the abovementioned drawbacks.
  • the invention provides for a centrifugal separator comprising a rotatably arranged upwardly extending first element with elongate elements connected thereto and an upwardly extending second element, wherein the first element and the second element are approximately concentrically arranged with respect to each other resulting in an inner element and an outer element and wherein the elongate elements extend from the first element towards the second element, further comprising a supply opening arranged at an outer end of the separator on a radius between the inner element and the outer element for supplying a dispersion comprising particles to be separated and further comprising a discharge opening arranged at an opposite outer end for discharging separated fluid and/or particles, wherein the supply opening is arranged proximate to the outer element.
  • the supply opening may be an annular opening arranged near the outer element or may be multiple openings arranged for example as an annular ring near the outer element.
  • the centrifugal separator may be arranged such that the first element is the outer element and the second element is the inner element.
  • the elongate elements may be connected to the outer element and may extend inwardly.
  • the elongate elements may be vanes, brush-like elements, blades, paddles or the like. When vanes are used, these vanes preferably have a predetermined curvature. Many variants of elongate elements can be possible.
  • the elongate elements may be flexible and/or flexibly mounted. Typically, the elongate elements extend over a length of the separator from one end of the separator comprising an inlet opening towards an other upper end of the separator.
  • the centrifugal separator may be arranged such that the first element is the inner element and the second element is the outer element.
  • the elongate elements may be connected to the inner element and may extend outwardly.
  • the outer element is approximately concentrically arranged with respect to the inner element, meaning that the outer element surrounds the inner element.
  • the outer element and/or the inner element may be cylindrical, tubular or cubical or may have any other upwardly extending form.
  • the outer element may be drum- shaped such that the inner space between the inner element and the outer element, i.e. where separation takes place may be closed during centrifuging. Via the supply opening the dispersion is directly supplied to the inner space.
  • the first element may be a rotational shaft and the second element may be a tubular sleeve.
  • the rotational shaft and the tubular sleeve may form a drum of the centrifugal separator.
  • the rotational shaft may be
  • tubular sleeve may be approximately centrally positioned in the tubular sleeve, wherein the tubular sleeve may surround the rotational shaft.
  • the tubular sleeve may be a stationary element, thus the first element, the rotational shaft, with the elongate elements may rotate in the second element, the tubular sleeve.
  • the second element may also be a rotational element, so the first element, the second element and the elongate elements may rotate together.
  • the first element and the second element rotate with the same speed such that during rotation there is approximately no velocity difference between the first element and the second element.
  • the elongate elements can extend from the first element until the second element and/or can even rest on the second element such that the first element and the second element are mechanically coupled during rotation. The second element can then during rotation be taken along with the first element.
  • the first and the second element can both be driven by the same drive system, or they can each have an own drive system which may be synchronized. By rotating the first element and the second element with the same rotational speed, turbulence of the dispersion and/or friction between separated particles and the tubular sleeve can be minimized.
  • the supply opening for supplying dispersion to the centrifugal separator may be arranged at an outer end of the centrifugal separator.
  • the outer end may be an upper end or a lower end. Via the supply opening the dispersion may be supplied in the inner space between the inner element and the outer element.
  • an opening between the inner wall of the outer element and an outer edge of the disc may provide for the supply opening.

  • the feed supply may feed the dispersion in a collecting chamber from which radially outwardly extending tubes may guide the dispersion to the supply opening and/or to the outer region near the outer element of the separator.
  • the disc may be oriented substantially transverse to the upwardly extending inner element, so as to direct the dispersion supplied via the feed supply and encountering the disc towards the supply opening at the outer edge of the disc.
  • the disc may for example be oriented at a small angle upstream with respect to the transverse orientation, so the dispersion encountering the disc may be 'helped' moving to the supply opening at the outer edge via the sloped orientation of the disc.
  • the disc may be conical or pyramidal of which the sides may have a slope of approximately 2 a 10 degrees.
  • the disc By providing the disc with discharge openings, upon termination of the rotation, remaining separated particles and/or remaining liquid and/or remaining dispersion can flow back to the feed supply via the discharge openings.

  • the solid particles may be separated from the liquid during use of the centrifugal separator and may e.g. collect at an outer radial edge of the centrifugal separator and/or between and/or on the elongate elements of the separator.
  • the liquid particles of the dispersion may in use for example be collected at an outer upper and/or lower end of the centrifugal separator, e.g. at a centripetal rotor.

  • the discharge openings By placing the discharge openings relatively close to the inner element, the discharge openings may be avoided by dispersion as an entrance opening to the drum and the dispersion may enter the drum via the openings at an outer edge of the disc. Also, by providing the discharge openings relatively close to the inner element, it may be avoided that the liquid that is separated from the dispersion during use of the centrifugal separator flows downward via the discharge openings, thereby a short-circuit may occur.
