Disc Centrifuge Backpressure | A Comprehensive Guide
What is Backpressure in Disc Centrifuges? A paring disc pump within the disc centrifuge bowl converts the rotational momentum of the fluid into pressure. This pressure causes the liquid to discharge out of the bowl. Any restriction in the discharge passage of the liquids exerts pressure on the bowl. This externally created pressure is known… Continue reading Disc Centrifuge Backpressure | A Comprehensive Guide
Disc Centrifuge Liquid Seal Break or Breakover | Causes, Detection, Fixes
What is Liquid Seal Break or Breakover in Disc Centrifuges? During the normal 3-phase separation process in a disc-stack centrifuge, the heavy phase (typically water) forms a liquid seal around the periphery of the bowl. Under certain conditions, the light phase pushes out the heavy phase and escapes through the heavy phase outlet. This operating… Continue reading Disc Centrifuge Liquid Seal Break or Breakover | Causes, Detection, Fixes
