A centrifugal separator for cleaning gas containing contaminants includes a stationary casing, a gas inlet, a rotating member, a gas outlet including an outlet opening through a wall of the stationary casing, a drainage outlet arranged in the lower portion of the stationary casing, a drive member for rotating the rotating member, and a stationary axial surface extending into the separation space. The rotating member includes a rotatable axial surface arranged radially outside the stationary axial surface. The rotatable axial surface is arranged at the gas inlet such that liquid contaminants present in the gas to be cleaned is pressed against the rotatable axial surface during operation. The rotating member includes a brim portion extending radially inwards from the rotatable axial surface and forms a ring-shaped sealing gap between the rotating member and the stationary axial surface.

A centrifugal deaerator for an air/oil mixture of a turbine engine includes: an annular housing arranged around a hollow shaft and having an outer annular wall and an inner annular wall; axial mixture inlets for the inflow of the air/oil mixture into annular housing; a pinion for rotating the annular housing, the pinion including a web that is securely connected to the hollow shaft and to the inner and outer annular walls; radial oil outlets in the outer wall; and oil-free air outlets in the inner wall. The axial mixture inlets and the radial oil outlets are axially arranged on either said of the web to prevent the axial mixture inlets from reintroducing oil evacuated by radial oil outlets into the annular housing.

An arrangement for cleaning gas includes a centrifugal separator and pre-separation unit. The centrifugal separator includes a stationary casing, enclosing a separation space through which a gas flow is permitted, a gas inlet extending through the stationary casing and permitting supply of the gas from the pre-separation unit, a rotating stack of separation disks, a gas outlet and a drainage outlet for discharging separated liquid impurities. The pre-separation unit is arranged upstream of said inlet of said centrifugal separator, and it comprises a pre-separation inlet having a cross-sectional area A2 and permitting supply of the gas to be cleaned. A2 is larger than the cross-sectional area A1 of the inlet to the separation space of the centrifugal separator. A pre-separation outlet permits supply of gas from the pre-separation unit to the gas inlet of the centrifugal separator. A first chamber and a second chamber arranged downstream thereof are separated by at least one intermediate wall including at least one through-hole.

The invention is related to the area of aviation engine building, particularly, to the elements of the gas turbine engine lubrication system. Accessory gearbox containing a gear, a branch pipe, bearings, a centrifugal impeller with blades. The centrifugal impeller with the blades contains a shell with the potential formation of inner cavities, windows for the gas-oil mixture inlet and air outlet, the blades have different lengths and are located at the angles and to the gear rotation axis. Besides, the centrifugal impeller may contain curvilinear blades. Besides, the centrifugal impeller may contain at least two oil and air separation stages installed in series. The implementation of the invention proposed with the distinctive features above, in combination with the known features enables improvement of the assembly technology, reduction of the outline dimensions and weight of the accessory gearbox, improvement of the oil separation.

There is disclosed a separator having a first separator and a matrix separator. The first separator caters to an air-oil mixture having a first oil concentration and the matrix separator caters to an air-oil mixture having a second oil concentration being less than the first oil concentration. The matrix separator is disposed at least partially concentrically within the first separator. A wall is disposed radially between the first and second separators. A radial passage extends through the wall. An air-oil mixture outlet of the first separator is fluidly connected to an air-oil mixture inlet of the matrix separator via the radial passage. At least one passage extends radially outwardly from the matrix separator across the first separator. The at least one passage fluidly connects the matrix separator to an environment outside the air-oil separator. A method of removing oil from an air-oil mixture is also disclosed.

An oil separator with a housing, in which is rotatably mounted a rotor containing a drive element, an oil separating element and a shaft for driving the oil separating element of the rotor via the shaft of the rotor around the shaft axis. At least one element of the rotor is seated in such a way that it is displaceable via an actuator element axially from a first inoperative positive to a second operating position.

This device is intended to separate oil droplets from a gas stream and comprises an inlet wall (2) having at least one inlet opening in which there is disposed a propeller for accelerating and radially orienting the gas stream and at least one retaining wall (3) having at least one retaining medium disposed facing a propeller (8). Advantageously, the inlet wall (2) and the retaining wall (3) are linked by a hinge allowing the retaining wall (3) to be folded against the inlet wall from an unfolded production configuration to a folded use configuration.

An internal combustion engine, such as a stationary reciprocating piston engine, is provided. The internal combustion engine includes at least one turbo charger unit. At least one supply conduct is configured to convey a medium from the at least one turbo charger unit to at least one separation device, which is configured to separate foreign substances, in particular oil, from the medium. At least one foreign substance conduct is configured to convey the separated foreign substances from the at least one separation device to at least one crankcase.

An attachment and retaining mechanism is described for removably attaching a rotating filter element to a rotating shaft. The rotating filter element includes a filter media that is driven by a drive mechanism that rotates the rotating shaft. The filter element is removably attached to the rotating shaft such that the filter element and filtration system can be periodically replaced and/or serviced. In some arrangements, the drive shaft includes a D-shaped section that interacts with a mating section of the filter element sleeve of the rotating filter element. In other arrangements, the drive shaft includes at least one flat drive surface.

An oil separator includes: a spindle; a rotor rotable together with the spindle and having an inner peripheral space, the rotor configured to be rotated by introducing, into the inner peripheral space, separating oil and processing-target gas containing mist oil so that the mist oil is separated from the processing-target gas; a case having an internal space and an inlet hole communicating with the internal space, the internal space housing a separation chamber having the spindle and the rotor; and a lower partition wall member disposed in a lower end of the internal space and provided with a through hole penetrating a center of the lower partition wall member in an up-down direction, the spindle being inserted into the through hole.
