Abstract
In an apparatus for simultaneous cleaning of a liquid and a gas a centrifugal rotor for cleaning of the liquid is connected with a device for cleaning of the gas. The centrifugal rotor is contained in a stationary housing, and this housing delimits a supply passage for gas to be cleaned and on its way to the cleaning device. The gas cleaning device comprises a stack of conical separation discs surrounding a gas inlet chamber and surrounded by a receiving chamber that is delimited by a surrounding stationary casing.
Claims8
An apparatus for the simultaneous cleaning of a liquid from first particles suspended therein and a gas from second particles suspended therein, the apparatus comprising:
- a centrifugal rotor rotatable about a rotational axis and arranged for through flow and cleaning of said liquid,
- a driving device is arranged for rotation of the centrifugal rotor about said rotational axis,
- a gas cleaning device connected with the centrifugal rotor for rotation together therewith and arranged for through flow and cleaning of said gas,
- a stationary housing surrounding the centrifugal rotor and delimiting a passage for conducting said gas to a gas inlet of the gas cleaning device,
- the gas cleaning device including a stack of conical separation discs arranged substantially coaxially with said rotational axis and between themselves delimiting flow passages for the gas to be cleaned,
- the stack of separation discs delimiting a central space in communication with said passage in the stationary housing, through the inlet of the gas cleaning device, and also with radially inner parts of the flow passages between the conical discs, and wherein
- the stack of separation discs is surrounded by a stationary casing delimiting around the separation discs a receiving space, in which radial outer parts of the flow passages between the conical discs open.
