( 21) Application No 22557/78 ( 22) Filed 25 May 1978 ( 31) Convention Application No 2489796 ( 32) Filed 20 Jun 1977 in ( 33) ( 44) Soviet Union (SU) Complete Specification Published 18 Mar 1981 ( 51) INT CL 3 B 04 B 1/04 ( 52) Index at Acceptance B 2 P 10 C 3 B 1 B 10 C 3 B 2 11 9 A 3 B 9 E 1 ( 54) CENTRIFUGAL LIQUID PURIFIER ( 71) I VIKTOR ALEXEEVICH BERBER a citizen of Union of Soviet Socialists Republics (U S S R) of kv 65 184 Shelkovichnava ulitsa Saratov U S S R do hereby declare the invention for which I pray that a patent mav be granted to me.
and the method by which it is to be performed to be particularly described in and by the following statement:-
The present invention relates to devices for purifying liquid and more particularly.
it relates to centrifugal liquid purifiers.
The centrifugal liquid purifier according to the present invention can be used most advantageously for purifying liquid such as oil fuel and the like from solid impurities.
According to the invention a centrifugal liquid purifier comprises: a vertically extending hollow axle fixed on a base and having a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet: a cylindrical rotor mounted for rotation on said hollow axle the casing of the rotor accommodating coaxiallv with the hollow axle: a bushing with a spiral-shaped band wound thereon waith spacers located between adjacent turns of the band in parallel with the hollow axle said spacers forming radial rowvs and defining together wsith the band passages for liquid top and bottom impellers serving to circulate the liquid and located at the opposite ends of the bushing and the band wound thereon the bottom impeller being located in a space in the rotor in communication with the liquid inlet provided in the hollow axle and the top one in a space in the rotor in communication with the liquid outlet provided in the hollow axle:
the said band being corrugated with corrugations running parallel with the hollow axle and the said spacers located in the crests of the corrugations and a paving disk for the pumping of liquid being mounted on the hollow axle to co-operate with the top impeller and being in communication with said liquid outlet.
It is expedient that over the entire length of each radial row formed by the spacers on the side of the outlet end of the cylindrical rotor provision should be made of plates projecting on both sides from the radial row of spacers through a value amounting 20% of the width of the passage for liquid.
The provision of such plates makes for the retention of particles whose density is close to that of the liquid being purified moving along the spacers and for the accumulation of said particles in the form of precipitate.
The centrifugal liquid purifier according to the present invention provides a mansfold improvement of the fineness of purification especially in the case of purification from impurities having particles of relatively low densitv for example rubber.
The present invention will be better understood upon considering the following detailed description of an exemplary embodiment thereof with due reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 shows a centrifugal liquid purifier according to the invention in longitudinal section:
Figure 2 is a fragment of the band spiral cross-section:
Figure 3 is an evolved view of the band with spacers on larger scale: and Figure 4 shows a passage defined by adjacent turns of the band and the spacers.
on a larger scale.
Referring nows to Figure 1 of the drawings the centrifugal liquid purifier according to the invention comprises a hollow axle 1 fixed with its lower end on a base 2 In its bottom portion space A of the axle 1 is in communication with a union 3 serving as an inlet for the’liquid being purified to the purifier and with a union 4 serving as an outlet for the purified liquid.
The fixed end of the axle 1 is covered with a flange 5 Mounted in bearings 6 and 7 on the axle 1 is a cylindrical rotor 8 designed for 1 586 444 ( 19) 1 586 444 centrifugal purification of liquid A paring disk 9, mounted on the top end of the axle 1, serves to connect the inner space of the rotor 8 via a pipe 10 lcoated inside the space A of the axle 1 with the union 4 The paring disk 9 is designed for pumping the purified liquid and, at the same time, it serves as the top thrust bearing of the rotor 8 Apertures 11 are provided in the hollow axle 1 for supplying liquid to space B of the rotor 8.
The rotor 8 accomodates a bushing 12 with a spiral-shaped band 13 wound thereon, between the turns of which band spacers 14 (Figure 2) are located one after another in a radial direction in parallel with the axle 1, said spacers forming radial rows arranged uniformly on a circle The spacers 14 together with the turns of the band 13 define passages 15 the width of which depends upon the thickness of the spacers 14 Pressfitted in the bushing 12 is a bottom impeller 16 (Figure 1) and a top impeller 17, respectively located below and above the spiral of the band 13 The bottom impeller 16 comprises a flange 18 with ribs 19 arranged radially uniformly on a circle, and a bottom portion in the form of a pulley 20 by means of which the rotor 8 is connected via V-belt drive (not shown) with its drive (not shown) The impeller 16 is designed to circulate the liquid and center the rotor 8 in the bearing 6.
The top impeller 17 comprises a flange 21 with ribs 22 arranged radially uniformly on a circle and is designed for centering the rotor 8 in the bearing 7 and for circulating the liquid.
For supplying the liquid to the passages 15, use is made of space B defined by the bushing 12, axle 1 and radial channels of the impeller 16.
The rotor 8 is enclosed in a casing 23 locked in position in the flange 18 of the impeller 16 by means of a collar spring 24.
Provided in the top portion of the casing 23 is a port for the discharge of air when filling the rotor 8 with liquid, said port being stopped with a plug 25 In order to preclude the leakage of liquid from the rotor 8, a seal 26 is provided between the bottom impeller 16 and the axle 1.
For supplying the purified liquid to the seal 26 and bearing 6, a channel 27 is provided in the axle 1.
The band 13 is corrugated as shown in Figure 2, with corrugations running parallel with the hollow axle 1 while the spacers 14 are located in the crests of the corrugations and form radial rows uniformly arranged on a circle.
For obtaining and fixing corrugations on the bushing 12 there are provided ribs 28 arranged uniformly on a circle passing through a row of the spacers 14 and resting against appropriate rows of spacers, while on the side of the casing 23 ribs 29 are located such as to alternate with the ribs 28 and rest against appropriate rows of the spacers 14 The ribs 29 are provided at their top and bottom ends with conical projections 30 receivable in corresponding depressions of the ribs 19 and 22, respectively, in the bottom impeller 16 and top impeller 17.
For entrapping particles whose density is close to that of the liquid being purified, plates 31 (Figures 1, 3) are provided over the entire length of each row of the spacers 14 on the side of the outlet end of the rotor 8 Each plate 31 is made wider than a spacer 14 and projects on both sides from a row of the spacers 14 through a value e amounting to 20-40 % of the width h of the passage 15.
The value e depends on the viscosity of liquid being purified and on the rate of the liquid flow through the passage.
The centrifugal liquid purifier according to the present invention operates in the following manner.
The rotor 8 filled with liquid is set to rotation by the drive (not shown) via V-belt drive (not shown) The liquid being purified is supplied via union 3 to the centrifugal purifier The direction of flow is shown with arrows C Via space A, apertures 11 in the axle 1 and space B, the liquid gets to the radial channels between the ribs 19 of the impeller 16 Here, the liquid is rotated by means of the ribs 19 of the impeller 16 to reach the angular velocity of the rotor 8 and supplied, via passages 15 between the corrugations of the spiral-shaped band 13, to the pressure disk 9.
Particles a (Figures 3, 4) and b of the heavy and light dispersed phases, respectively, pass in axial direction together with the flow through the passages 15 over a path HI (depending on the properties of phases being separated and operating conditions of the purifier) to cross in radial direction the passage 15 and precipitate on the opposing surfaces of the band 13 and, further, owing to the tilt of the band 13, are dumped by centrifugal forces to the spacers 14 to form precipitates d and e The sliding trajectories (shown in Figure 3 with broken line) depend upon the relationship between the washing off force of the flow and tangential component of centrifugal force.
The precipitates d and e form a wedgeshaped zone (Figure 4) whose inclination angle a corresponds to the angle of friction of microparticles Particles that are most likely to be carried away have the minimum angle of friction and, therefore, roll down to apex of the wedge-shaped zone of the slit passage 15 (positions a’ and b’) where there is practically no flow inasmuch as the liquid velocities are proportional to the square of height of the passage 15 Therefore, the 1 586 444 precipitate formed of large particles and having an increased friction coefficient automatically provides conditions required for retaining in the wedge-shaped zone the particles that can be readily carried away in a conventional gap Those of the particles that are most likely to be carried away are retained additionally by means of the plates 31 provided over the entire length of each row of the spacers 14 on the side of the outlet end of the rotor 8 i e, in the path along which such particles may be carried away from the precipitates d and e In addition, the plates 31 together with the spacers 14 and band 13 form in the passage stagnant zones of considerable height, inside which zones the particles moving along the spacers 14 are stopped and accumulated in the form of precipitates f (Figure 3) and g The plates 31 also serve as barriers designed to retain the separated dispersed liquid phase i dumped in the form of drops in the space between the ribs of the impeller 16 and further in mud trap D (Figure 1) or it can be removed from the purifier by any suitable conventional means The plates 31 also serve to relieve the effect of Coriolis forces from the side of the impeller 17 upon the outlet portion of the passages 15 which makes for improved hydrodynamics of the flow.
