UNIT OF GAS CENTRIFUGES Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: equipment for continuous separation of gas mixtures in the field of centrifugal forces. SUBSTANCE: unit of gas centrifuges includes gas centrifuges of the intake type located on supporting base in two or more parallel rows. Each centrifuge has vertical cylindrical hollow rotor with end face cover. The rotor is installed in the body on the lower thrust bearing and upper magnetic bearing and provided with immovable pipe supplying the initial gas mixture passing through the central hole of its end face cover and L-shaped pipes for withdrawal of separated fractions. Inlets of radial sections of the latter are located at rotor end face near its side wall. The unit has common supply and withdrawal pipelines connected to L-shaped pipes. Radial sections of the latter in all rotors are oriented so that their inlets are located on the same line running through axes of the rotors and centers of inlets and parallel to longitudinal axis of the unit. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 2 cl, 4 dwg
