Page 19: Basic Principles Of Separation
3 Basic principles of separation Introduction The purpose of separation can be: • to free a liquid of solid particles, • to separate two mutually insoluble liquids with different densities while removing any solids presents at the same time, • to separate and concentrate solid particles from a liquid.
Page 20: Centrifugal Separation
3.4 Separating temperatures 3 Basic principles of separation Centrifugal separation In a rapidly rotating bowl, the force of gravity is replaced by centrifugal force, which can be thousands of times greater. Separation and sedimentation is continuous and happens very quickly. The centrifugal force in the separator bowl can achieve in a few seconds what takes many hours in a tank under influence of gravity.
Page 21: Design And Function
4 Design and function G08707A1 1. Process section The feed inlet and outlets are situated at the top of the separator. The liquid is cleaned in the rotating separator bowl inside the frame hood. 2. Sensors The separator is monitored by a speed sensor. An unbalance sensor and an interlocking switch are optional.
Page 22: Overview
4.1 Overview 4 Design and function Overview The separator comprises a process section and a drive section powered by an electric motor. The separator frame comprises a lower body and a frame hood. The motor is attached to the frame. The frame feet dampen vibration. The bottom part of the separator contains a flat belt transmission, a centrifugal clutch and a vertical spindle.
Page 23: Drive Section
4 Design and function 4.2 Drive section Drive section The separator bowl is driven by an electric motor via a belt transmission. The belt pulley on the motor shaft includes a centrifugal clutch. The centrifugal clutch (2) with friction pads ensures a gentle start and smooth acceleration, and at the same time prevents overloading of the belt and motor.
Page 24: Process Section
4.3 Process section 4 Design and function Process section The separation process takes place inside the rotating separator bowl. The feed and outlet of process liquid takes place in the in and outlet unit on top of the separator frame hood. Inlet and outlet The inlet and outlet unit consists of the following parts:...
Page 25 4 Design and function 4.3 Process section Separator bowl The separator bowl, with its sludge discharge mechanism, is built-up as follows: The bowl body and bowl hood are held together by a lock ring (Centrilock). Inside the bowl are the distributor and the disc stack. The disc stack is kept compressed by the bowl hood.
Page 26: Sensors And Indicators
4.4 Sensors and indicators 4 Design and function Sensors and indicators The separator is equipped with a speed sensor. As options, an unbalance sensor and an interlocking kit can be fitted. Speed sensor (optional) A speed sensor (3) indicates the speed of the separator.
Page 27: Separating Function
4 Design and function 4.5 Separating function Separating function The separator separates water and solids from the uncleaned oil. Water normally leaves the separator through the water outlet. During sludge discharge, solids (sludge) and water are removed through the discharge ports. 4.5.1 The liquid balance in the bowl The liquid levels in the bowl depend on many...
Page 28: Liquid Flow
4.5 Separating function 4 Design and function 4.5.2 Liquid flow Unseparated oil is fed into the bowl through the inlet pipe and travels via the distributor towards the periphery of the bowl. When the oil reaches slots in the distributor, it rises through the channels formed by the disc stack, where it is evenly distributed.
Page 29: Discharge Of Sludge And Water (Alcap™ Concept)
4 Design and function 4.5 Separating function 4.5.3 Discharge of sludge and water (ALCAP™ concept) As the sludge space fills up and water enters the disc stack, traces of water will escape with the cleaned oil. The increase of water content in the cleaned oil is the sign of reduced separation efficiency.

Page 31: Operating Instructions
5 Operating instructions These operating instructions describe routine procedures to follow before and during the start, running and stopping sequences of the separator. If system documentation is available, always follow the operating instructions therein. If there is no system documentation, the instructions below are to be followed.
Page 32: Start After Service
5.1 Before first start 5 Operating instructions • Remove the oil pin and make sure that the oil level is above the lower end of the pin, see change on page 161. Too much or too little oil can damage the separator bearings.
Page 33: Normal Operation
5 Operating instructions 5.2 Normal operation Normal operation 5.2.1 Before normal start To achieve the best separation results, the bowl should be in a clean condition. Check: that all couplings and connections (1) are securely tightened to prevent leakages. Leaking hot liquid can cause burns.
Page 34: Start
5.2 Normal operation 5 Operating instructions 5.2.2 Start Start of separator: a. Open the water supply valve. b. Start the separator by pushing the start button at the starter unit. After every start the separator must always be run continuously for a minimum of 5 hour to ensure proper lubrication.
Page 35 5 Operating instructions 5.2 Normal operation Ensure that the separator is at full speed. The time by full speed can be checked by studying the ammeter. Current increases during start (1). When full speed has been reached, the current decreases to a stable value (2). For normal length of the start-up period, see Technical data on page 184.

If vibrations exceed the second alarm level the separator shall be stopped the quickest way possible and it shall not been restarted until the reasons for the unbalance have been found and measures to remove them have been taken.
Page 194 8.4 Interface description 8 Technical reference Signal processing in STARTING, RUNNING and CLEANING: • If the circuit is broken the separator should be stopped automatically by NORMAL STOP. This is to minimise the risk of having access to moving parts. Fluid connections Complementary information is given in the document Connection List.
