Closing of bowl
- After the purifier has attained its full rpm, the bowl closing water also called as the operating water is supplied at the bottom.
- Sliding bowl bottom is pressed upwards against a seal ring by the hydraulic force of the operating water.
Sealing water
- The sealing water is now supplied through the sealing water inlet.
- The supply of sealing water is continued until it comes out of the water outlet.
Dirty oil
- The dirty oil is supplied in to the bowl through the dirty oil inlet.
- Due to centrifugal force, the oil displaces the water and the sludge to the bowl periphery and rises upwards through the disc stack.
- The clean oil is then discharged through the clean oil outlet.
- Sludge and water particles accumulate at the bowl periphery and separated water is continuously discharged through the water outlet.
Desludging
- The sludge ports in the periphery of the bowl are covered by the sliding bowl bottom.
- For desludging, oil feed inlet to the purifier is stopped and the operating water is closed.
- The bowl opening water, also called the desludging water is supplied for a few seconds during which the water flows on from the top of the operating.
- The water force exceeds the spring force and pushes the operating slide downwards.
- The entire operating water is discharged through the nozzle.
- This causes the sliding bowl to move downwards, thereby opening the sludge ports.
- The sludge is discharged through sludge ports.
- The cycle is restarted and the operation continues.
