Abstract
A method for operating a centrifugal separator associated with a prime mover and/or a working machine. The centrifugal separator comprises at least one rotatably mounted rotor that can be rotated at a variable speed via a drive controlled by a control unit. The method is characterized in that the speed of the rotor is controlled according to the sound emissions of the prime mover and/or according to the sound emissions of the working machine.
Claims19
A method for operating a centrifugal separator associated with at least one of a prime mover or a working machine in a motor vehicle, the centrifugal separator having at least one rotatably mounted rotor, the method comprising the steps:
- setting the at least one rotatably mounted rotor into rotation with a variable rotational speed by a drive controlled by a control unit, and,
- adjusting the variable rotational speed of the at least one rotatably mounted rotor as a function of acoustic emissions of the at least one of the prime mover or the working machine such that the rotation speed of the at least one rotatably mounted rotor increases as the acoustic emissions of the at least one of the prime mover or the working machine increase and the rotation speed of the at least one rotatably mounted rotor decreases as the acoustic emissions of the at least one of the prime mover or the working machine decrease.
