SELF-DISCHARGING LIQUID SEPARATOR Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: separation of liquids, particularly, liquid separators with periodic centrifugal discharge of sediments; applicable in dairy and meat, chemical and other industries, and in agriculture. SUBSTANCE: self-discharging liquid separator has drum mounted on vertical shaft and including base and cover with sealing ring, plate holder with a set of conical plates, piston with sealing edge and channel in piston body coming to sealing edge, buffer chamber under piston, chamber for controlling liquid, channel in base for partial withdrawal of buffer liquid from buffer chamber. Channel in piston body communicates buffer chamber. Chamber for controlling liquid is made in base and is communicated by means of radial channel with base outer surface. Channel for partial withdrawal of buffer liquid from buffer chamber is communicated with radial channel. EFFECT: simplified design, reduced drum metal usage and liquid (water) consumption for controlling operation of mechanism for sediment centrifugal discharge. 3 dwg
