ELECTROHYDRAULIC CYCLONE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: liquid material separation. SUBSTANCE: device has cylindric casing with conic lower part set at an angle of 15 deg and having cylindric portion height equal to 4.8 times the diameter, branch-pipe for tangentially supplying liquid to be cleared inclined at an angle of 13 deg and outlet branch-pipe. Sixteen conic electrodes are additionally mounted on cylindric dielectric electrode holder tangentially at an angle of 15 deg. Electrodes keep 2/3 of cylindric portion height of the device and are 5-7 mm distant from the casing. The holder with electrodes is also fixed on dielectric cover having holes for discharge sleeve and electrode terminals for supplying high voltage from ignition system. The discharge sleeve is mounted on the cover and is movable up and down. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in separating fractions of nonhomogeneous liquids. 3 cl, 2 dwg
