DEVICE FOR CLEANING DIELECTRIC LIQUIDS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: equipment for separation of suspensions, dielectric liquids in particular. SUBSTANCE: proposed device has cylindrical housing equipped with cone-shaped settler in its lower portion and branch pipes for delivery of liquid to be cleaned and discharge of cleaned liquid. Housing is provided with electrizers made in form of cylindrical partitions from materials of triboelectric series which form circular passages. Mounted between said partitions by means of circular insulators are liquid flow swirlers for forming translational and rotary motion in passages. Mounted on the outside of lower portion of housing is permanent magnet; static electricity neutralizer is fitted on cleaned water discharge branch pipe. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of cleaning dielectric liquids; reduced power requirements; enhanced fire safety. 2 dwg
