Disc Centrifuge Backpressure | A Comprehensive Guide

Centrifuge BackPressure Setup

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
