Structural analysis of tubular separator

Structural analysis of tubular separator

The drum of the tubular separator has a small diameter, a large length, and a high rotation speed, and is used for processing components in a low concentration suspension and emulsion which are difficult to separate. Tube separators are commonly used for the separation of oil, water, bacteria, and proteins, and the clarification of essential oils.

The drum is a tubular high speed centrifuge. Its drum has a small diameter, a large length and a high rotational speed for handling low concentration suspensions and components in emulsions that are difficult to separate. The drum is supported by the slender shaft and is driven by the upper end. The lower end of the drum has damping means to reduce the vibration during starting and stopping. After the drum reaches the working speed, since the center of gravity of the drum is much lower than the pivot point of the shaft, it can be automatically centered during operation and work smoothly. The drum has a diameter of 45 to 150 mm and a length to diameter ratio of 4 to 8. The emulsion is added to the lower end of the drum, and is driven by the longitudinal ribs in the drum to rotate at the same speed as the drum. Under the action of centrifugal force, the emulsion is divided into two layers, the heavy liquid layer is turned toward the drum wall, and the light liquid layer is supported. To the drum center. The heavy liquid and the light liquid flow along the length of the drum and are respectively discharged by the overflow ports at the top of the drum. When the suspension or the emulsion containing the solid particles is separated, after the operation for a certain period of time, the accumulated slag accumulated in the drum increases. When the clarity of the separation liquid drops to the non-conformity, it must stop to remove the sediment in the drum. The separation factor of the tubular separator is as high as 13,000-62000, and the separation effect is good. It is suitable for treating solid particles with a diameter of 0.01-100 μm, a solid phase concentration of less than 1%, and a density difference of light phase and heavy phase greater than 0.01 kg/dm. The suspension or emulsion is separated and has an processing capacity of 0.1 to 4 cubic meters per hour. Tube separators are commonly used for the separation of oil, water, bacteria, and proteins, and the clarification of essential oils. A special ultra-speed tube separator can be used for separation and concentration of gas mixtures of different densities.
