The centrifugalseparator includes parts thatrotate at high speed. This means that:

. Kinetic energy is high

. Great forces are generated

. Stopping iime is long

Manufacturing tolerances are extremely fine.Rotating parts are carefully balanced to reduceundesired vibrations that can cause a breakdown.Material properties have been consideredcarefully during design to withstand stress andfatigue"

The separator is designed and supplied for aspecific separation duty (type of liquid, rotationalspeed, temperature, density etc.) and must not beused for any other purpose.

lncorrect operation and maintenance can result inunbalance due to build-up of sediment, reductionof materialstrengih, etc., that subsequently couldlead to serious damage and/or injury.

The following basic safety instructions thereforeapply:

. Use the separator only for the purposeand parameter range specified byAlfa Laval.

3.1 Basic prínciples of separation 3 Eeparator Basics

3.1 Basic pr¡nciples ofseparation

The purpose of separation can be:

o to free a liquid of solid particles,

o t0 separate two mutually insoluble liquids withdifferent densities while removing any solidspresents at the same time,

. to separate and concentrate solid particles

from a liquid.

Separation by gravity

A liquid mixture in a stationary bowlwillclearslowly as the heavy particles in the liquid mixturesink to the bottom under the influence of gravity-

A lighter liquid rises while a heavier liquid andsolids sink.

Continuous separation and sedimentation can beachieved ín a seüling tank having outlets

arranged according to the difference in density ofthe liquids.

Heavier particles in the liquid mixture will settlgand form a sediment layer on the tank bottom.

Cenüifugal separat¡on

ln a rapidly rotating bowl, the force of gravity is

replaced by centrifugalforce, which can bethousands of times greater.

Separation and sedimentation is continuous and

happens very quickly.

The centrifugal force in the separator bowl can

achieve in a few seconds what takes many hoursin a tank under influence of gravity.

3.1.1 Factors influencing theseparation result

Separatin g temperatu re

For some types of process liquids (e.g. mineraloils) a high separating temperature will normallyincrease the separation capacity. Thetemperature influences oil viscosity and densityand should be kept constant throughout theseparation

Viscosity

Low viscosity facilitates separation. Viscosity canbe reduced by heating.

Density difference (specific gravity ratio)

The greater the density difference between thetwo liquids, the easier the separation. The densitydifference can be increased by heating.

3.1 Basic principles of separation 3 Separator Basrcs

Phase proportions

An increased quantity of water in an oil willinfluence the separating résult through theoptimum transpoding capacity of the disc stack.An increased water content in the oil can be

compensated by reducing the throughput in orderto restore the optimum separating efficiency.

Size and shape of particles

The round and smooth particle (A) is more easilyseparated out than the irregular one (B).

Rough treatment, for instance in pumps, maycause a splitting of the particles resulting inslower separation. Larger particles (1) are moreeasily separated than smaller ones (2) even ifthey have the same density.

The throughput

The throughput sets the time allowed for theseparation of water and sediment from the oil. Abetter separation result can often be achieved byreducing the throughput, i.e. by increasing thesettling time.

Sludge space - sludge content

Sediment willaccumulate on the inside peripheryof the bowi. When the sludge space is filled upthe flow inside the bowlis influenced by thesediment and thereby reducing the separatingefficiency. In such cases the time betweencleaning should be reduced to suit theseconditions.

Disc stack

A neglected disc stack containing deformed discsor discs coated with deposits will impairtheseparating result.

Gravity disc

The position of the interface is adjusted byaltering the outlet diameter of the heavy liquidphase, that is by exchanging the gravity disc.

A gravity disc with a larger hole will move theinterface towards the bowlperiphery, whereas adisc with a smaller hole will place it closer to thebowl centre. For selection of gravity disc see"3.3.4 Position of interface - gravity disc'on page24.

3.2 Qverview 3 Separator Basics

3.2 OverviewThe separator comprises a processing part and adriving part. lt is driven by an electric motor.

Mechanically, the separator machine frame iscomposed of a bottom part and a collecting cover.The motor is flanged to the frame. The frame feethave vibration damping.

The bottom part of the separator contains thehorizontal driving device, driving shaft withcoupling, a worm gear and a vertical spindle.

The bottom part also contains an oil bath for theworm gear, a brake and a revolution counter,indicating speed.

The collecting cover contains the processingparts of the separatot the inlet and outlets andpiping.

The liquid is cleaned in the separator bowl. This isfitted on the upper part of the vertical spindle androtates at high speed inside the space formed bythe collectíng cover.

All. connections have standardised numbers.These numbers are used in the connection listand the basic size drawing which can be found inchapter "S Technical Reference'on page 123.

3 SeparatorBasrbs 3.3 Separating function

3.3 Separating functionUnseparated process liquid is fed into the bowlthrough the inlet pipe and is pumped via thedistributor towards the periphery of the bowl.

When the process liquid reaches holes of thedistributor; itwillrise through the channels formedby the disc stack where it is evenly distributed.

The process liquid is continuously cleaned as itflows towards the center of the bowl. When thecleaned process liquid leaves'the disc stack itrises upwards and leaves the bowl through outlet(220). Separated heavy phase flows over thegravity disc and leaves the bowlvia outlet (221).The sludge and solid particles are forced outtowards the periphery of the bowl and collectedon the bowlwall, the sludge space.

The space between bowl hood and top disc isnormally filled with heavy phase.

This bowl has two liquid outlets. The processliquid flows through the centre and out under thedistributor.

The liquid flows up and is divided among theinterspaces between the bowldiscs, where theliquid phases are separated from each other byaction of the centrifugal force.

The heavy phase and any sediment move alongthe underside of the bowldiscs towards theperiphery of the bowl, where the sediment settleson the bowlwall. The heavy phase proceedsalong the upper side of the top disc towards theneck of the bowl hood and leaves the bowl via thegravity disc - the outer way (darkcoloured inillustration).

The light phase moves along the upper side of thebowldiscs towards the bowlcentre and leavesthe bowl via the hole in the top disc neck - fheinner way (light coloured in illustration).

3.3 Sqarating function 3 Sepuator Basics

3.3.3 Liquid seal

In a purifier bowl the liquid seal prevents the lightliquid phase from passing the outer edge of thetop disc, thus eliminating flow out through theouter path. The bowl must therefore be filled withsealing liquid before the process liquid is

admiüed. The sealing liquid will be displacedslightly by the process liquid into a position thatforms the interface. The location of the interfacewill be affected by the relative difference in

density between the phases, but is alsodependent on outer and inner diameters (Dt andD, respectively).

The sealing liquid:

e rflust be insoluble in the light phase.

. must not have higher density than the heavyphase.

. can be soluble in the heavy phase.

In most cases the heavy phase is used as sealingliquid.

In some cases and only if the process liquid

contains a sufficient quantity of heavy phase(more than 25%), the process liquid can besupplied directly as the seal will formautomatically.

3.3,4 Position of interface -

gravity disc

The position of the interface is adjusted foroptimum separation by altering the pressure

balance of the two liquid phases oiland waterinside the separator.

The purifier bowl is adiusted for separation liquidmixtures with various specific gravity ratios byaltering the diameter of the outlet for the heavyphase (Dr). The heavier or more viscous the lightphase and the largerthe liquid feed the srnallerthe diameter should be. For this purpose anumber of gravity discs with various hole

diameters is delivered with the separator.

3.4 Mechanical function 3 Separafor Basics

3.4.3 Mechanical powertransmission

The main parts of the power transmissionbetween motor and bowlare illustrated in thefigure.

The friction coupling ensures a gentle start andacceleration and at the same time prevents

'overloading of the worm gear and motor.

The worm gear has a ratio which increase thebowlspeed severaltimes compared with themotorspeed. For correct ratio see chapter "8.1Technicaldata" on page 124.

To reduce bearing wear and the transmission ofbowlvibrations to the frame and foundation, thetop bearing of the bowlspindle is mounted in aspring casing.

The worm wheel runs in a lubricating oil bath. Thebearings on the spindle and the worm wheelshaftare lubricated by the oil splash produced by therotating worm wheel.

3.4.4 Brake

The separator is equipped with a hand operatedbrake to be used when stopping the separator.The use of the brake reduces the retardation timeof the bowl and critical speeds willtherefore bequickly passed.

The brake lining acts on the outside of the bowlbody.

4.2 Gleaning the bowlThe separated sludge is accumulating on theinside surface of the separator bowl. How oftenthe separator needs to be cleaned, depends onthe amount of sediment entering the separator.High solids content or high throughput has theconsequence that the cleaning needs to be donemore often.

lntervals for a specific case must be based onexperience.

Information about sludge content in the feed canbe achieved either by using a lab centrifuge or torun the separator for 2 - 3 hours and then stopand open the bowito check the amount of sludge.

Then prolong or shorten the cleaning interval.

4.2.1 Removal of separatedsludge

Remove the sludge collected on the inside of thebowlds follows:

1. Stop the separator as described in "4.1.7Stopping procedure" on page 39.

2. Dismantle the bowl as described in "6.2.1Bowl" on page 83.

4.2 Cleaning the bowl 4 Operating Instructions

4,2.2 Disc stack

When the sediment is not sticky, the disc stackcan be cleaned by "hurling".

1. Clean the other bowlparts.

2. Assemble the bowl.

3. Close and lock the collecting cover.

4. Run up to full speed without Iiquid feed.

5. After "hurling" either continue separation orstop and open the bowl and remove thesediment.

lf the sediment adheres firmly, dissolve it bysubmerging the distributor and the disc stack in asuitable detergent.

lf "hurling" has no effect, clean the discs one byone.

4.2.3 Assembly the bowl

Each bowl constitutes a balanced unit. Exchangeof any major part may need rebalancing of thebowl. To prevent mixing of parts, e.g. in an

installation comprising of several machines of thesame type, the major bowl parts carry themachine manufacturing number or its last threedigits,

NOTE

Be sure.bowl parts are not interchanged.Out of balance vibration will reduce ballbearing life.

The assembly procedure is described in

"6.3.3 Bowl" on page 99.

5.3 MS - Check points

5,3.1 Corrosion

Evidence of corrosion attacks should be lookedfor and rectified each time the separator is

dismantled. Main bowlparts such as the bowlbody, bowl hood and lock ring must be inspectedwith particular care for corrosion damage.

DANGER

Disintegration hazard

Inspect regularly for corrosio n damage.lnspect frequently if the process liquid is

corrosive.

Always contact your Alfa Laval representative ifyou suspect that the largest depth of thecorrosion damage exceeds 1 ,0 mm or if crackshave been found. Do not continue to use theseparator until it has been inspected and givenclearance for operation by Alfa Laval.

Cracks or damage forming a line should beconsidered as being particularly hazardous.

Non-staintess steeland cast iron pañs

Corrosion (rusting) can occur on unprotectedsurfaces of non-stainless steel and cast iron.Frame parts can corrode when exposed to anaggressive environment.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel parts corrode when in contact witheither chlorides or acidic solutions. Acidicsolutions cause a general conosion. The chloridecorrosion is characterised by localdamage suchas pitting, grooves or cracks. The risk of chloridecorrosion is higher if the surface is:

5.3 MS - Checkpoints 5 Service lnstructions

Other metal parts

Separator parts made of materials otherthansteel, such as brass or other copper alloys, canalso be damaged by corrosion when exposed toan aggressive environment. Possible corrosiondamage can be in the form of pits and/or cracks.

5.3.2 Erosion

Erosion can occur when particles suspended inthe process liquid slide along or strike against asurface. Erosion can become intensified locallyby flows of higher velocity.

DANGER

Disintegration hazard

Inspect regularly forerosion damage. Inspectfrequently if the process liquid is erosive.

Always contact your Alfa Laval representative ifthe largest depth of any erosion damage exceeds1.0 mm. Valuable information as to the nature ofthe damage can be recorded using photographs,plaster impressions or hammered-in lead.

Erosion is characterised by:

. Burnished traces in the material.

. Dents and pits having a granular and shinysurface.

Surfaces particularly subjected to erosion are:

1 . The underside of the distributor in the vicinitvof the distribution holes and wings.

2. The internalsurface of the bowl body thatfaces the conicalpart of the distributor.

Look carefully for any signs of erosion damage.Erosion damage can deepen rapidly and.

consequently weaken parts by reducing thethickness of the metal.

5.3.3 Gracks

Cracks can initiate on the machine after a periodof operation and propagate with time.

r Cracks often initiate in an area exposed tohigh cyclic material stresses. These arecalled fatigue cracks.

. Cracks can also initiate due to corrosion in anagg ressive environ ment.

r Although very unlikely, cracks may also occurdue to the low temperature embrittlement ofcertain materials.

The combination of an aggressive environmentand cyclic stresses will speed-up the formation ofcracks. Keeping the machine and its parts cleanand free from deposits will help to preventcorrosion attacks.

It is particularly impoñant to inspect for cracks in

rotating parts.

5,3.4 Disc stack pressure

The lock ring (1) should press the bowl hood (2)

firmly against the bowlbody (3). The hood in turnshould exeñ a pressure on the disc stack (4),

clamping it in place.

NOTE

lnsufficient pressure in disc stack can causeout of balance vibration and reduced lifetimeof ball bearings.

Compress the disc stack by tightening the lockring, see chapter "6.3.3 Bowl" on page 99.

Correct pressure is obtained when it is possible totighten the lock ring so far Qy hand that the

$-mark on the lock ring is positioned 60" - 90'before the mark on the bowl hood.

To achieve this, add an appropriate number ofdiscs to the top of the disc stack beneath the topdisc.

Then advance the lock ring by giving the spannerhandle some blows tillthe Q-marks are passedand the bowl is fullv assembled.

5.3.6 Radialwobble of bowlspindle

. Spindle wobble is indicated by rough bowlrun(vibration).

The bowt spindle wobble should be checked if thebowl spindle has been dismantled or if rough bowlrunning (vibration) occurs.

NOTE

Spindle wobble willcause rough bowl run.This leads to vibration and reduces lifetime ofballbearings.

Check the wobble before mounting the bowl.

Before measuring, make sure that the bufferplugs are properly tightened.

. Fit a dial indicator in a suppod and fasten it tothe frame.

-

. Remove the motor to get access to thecoupling drum. Use the coupling drum torevolve the spindle manually.

. Measure the wobble at the top of the taperedend of the spindle. Maximum permissibleradial wobble is 0.15 mrn.

. lf wobble is too large, renew allthe ballbearings on the spindle.

Measure wobble after assembly. lf it is still

excessive, the spindle is probably damaged andmust be renewed, contact your Alfa Laval

representative.

NOTE

Renew both worm wheel and worm at thesame time, even if only one of them is worn.

NOTE

Presence of metalchips in the oilbath is anindication that the gear is wearingabnormally.

When using mineral-type oil in the worm gearhousing, the presence of black deposits on thespindle parts is an indication that the oil base hasdeteriorated seriously or that some of the oiladditives have precipitated. lf pits are found onthe worm geal the cause could be that the -

additives are not suitable for this purpose.

Satisfactory teeth

Uniform wear of contact sudaces. Surfaces aresmooth.

Good contact surfaces willform on the teethwhen the gear is subjected to only moderate loadduring its running-in period.

Worn teeth

Permissible wear is as a rule 1/3 of the thicknessof the upper part of a tooth, provided that

. the wear is uniform over the whole of theflank of a tooth

¡ and all teeth are worn in the same way.

Spalling

Small bits of the teeth have broken off, so-calledspalling. This is generally due to excessive loador improper lubrication. Damage of this type neednot necessitate immediate replacement, butcareful checking at short intervals is imperative.

5.4.2 Gleaning agents

When using chemicalcleaning agents, make sureyou follow the generalrules and supplier'srecommendatio ns regarding ventilation,protection of personnel, etc.

For separator bowl, inlet and outlet

A chemical cleaning agent must dissolve thedeposits quickly without attacking the material ofthe separator parts.

. For cleaning of lube oil separators the mostimportant function of the cleaning agent is tobe a good solvent for the gypsum in thesludge. lt should also act as a dispersant andemulsifier for oil. lt is recommended to useAlfa Laval cleaning liquid for lube oilseparators which has the above mentionedqualities. Note that carbon steel parts can bedamaged by the cleaning agent if submergedfor a long time.

. Fuel oil sludge mainly consists of complexorganic substances such as asphaltenes.The most important propedy of a cleaningliquid for the removal of fuel oil sludge is theability to dissolve these asphaltenes.

Alfa Laval cleaning liquid of fueloilseparators has been developed for thispurpose. The liquid is water soluble, non--flammable and does not cause corrosion ofbrass and steel. lt is also gentle to rubber andnylon gaskets in the separator bowl.Beforeuse, dilute the liquid with water to aconcentration of 3-5%. Recommendedcleaning temperature is 5G70'C.

CAUTION

Skin irritation hazard

Read the instructions on the label of theplastic container before using the cleaningliquid.

Always wear safety goggles, gloves andprotective clothing as the liquid is alkalineand dangerous to skin and eyes.

5.6.2 Balland roller bearings

Specialdesign bearings forthe bowl spindle

The bearings used for the bowlspindle arespecialto withstand the speed, vibration,temperature and load characteristics of high-speed separators

Only Alfa Lavalgenuine spare pads should beused.

A bearing that in appearance looks equivalent tothe correct may be considerably different invarious respects: inside clearances, design andtolerances of the cage and races as well asmaterial and heat treatment.

NOTEUsing an incorrect bearing can cause aserious breakdown with damage toequipment as a result.

Do not re-fit a used bearing. Always replaceit with a new.

Dismantling

For bearings where no driving-off sleeve isincluded in the tool kit, remove the bearing fromits seat by using a puller. lf possible, let the pullerengage the inner ring, then remove the bearingwith a steady force untilthe bearing borecompletely clears the entire length of thecylindrical seat.

The puller should be accurately centred duringdismantling; otherwise, it is easy to damage theseating.

NOTE

Do not hit with a hammer directly on thebearing.

5.6 Common maintenance directions 5 Se¡vice lnstrucfions

Gleaning and inspection

Check shaft (spindle) end and/or bearing seat inthe housing for damage indicating that thebearing has rotated on the shaft (spindle) and/orin the housing respectively. Renew the damagedpa¡t(s), if the faults cannot be remedied bypolíshing.

Assembly

. Leave new bearings in originalwrapping untilready to fit. The anti-rust agent protecting anew bearing should not be removed beforeUSE.

Use the greatest cleanliness when handlingthe bearings.

To facilitate assembly and also reduce therisk of damage, first clean and then lightly oilthe bearing seating on shaft (spindle) oralternatively in housing, with a thin oil.

. When assembling ball bearings, the bearingsmust be heated in oil to max. 125 "c.

NOTE

Heat the bearing in a clean container.

Use only clean oilwith a flash point above250 "c.

The bearing must be well covered by the oiland not be in direct contact with the sides orthe bottom of the container. Place thebearing on some kind of support orsuspended in the oil bath.

WARNING

Bum hazards

Use protective gloves when handling theheated bearings.

Clean and líghtly oilthe bearíng seating beforeassemb/y

The bearing must not be in direct contact with thecontainer

l:lr,

There are severa¡ basic rules for assemblingcylindrical bore bearings:

Never directly strike a bearing's rings,cage or rolling elements whileassembling- A ring may crack or metalfragments break off.

Never apply pressure to one ring in orderto assemble the other.

Use an ordinary hammer. Hammers withsoft metal heads are unsuitable asfragments of the metal may break off andenter the bearing.

Make sure the bearing is assembled at aright angle to the shaft (spindle).

lf necessary use a driving-on sleeve thatabuts the ring which is to be assembled withan interference fit, othen¡vise there is a riskthat the rolling elements and raceways maybe damaged and premature failure mayfollow.

5.6.3 Friction coupl¡ng

lf the separator does not attain full speed withinabout 2 minutes, the friction elements or-thecoupling may be worn or greasy, The frictionelements must then be replaced with new ones orthoroughly cleaned from grease.

Before the friction coupling is assemblec,examine all parts thoroughly for wear andcorrosion.

Use a driving-on sleeve for bearings that are notheated

A worn coupling increase start-up time

5.6 Common maintenance dírqtions 5 Service lnstructions

5.6.4 Shutdowns

lf the separator is shut down for a period of time,the following must be carried out:

. Remove the bowl, according to instructions inchapter "6 Dismantling/Assembly" on page81.

NOTE

The bowl must not be left on the spindleduring standstill for more than one week.

Vibration in foundations can be transmiftedto the bowl and produce one-sided loading ofthe bearings.

The resultant indentations in the ball bearingraces can cause premature bearing failure.

Protect cleaned carbon steel pañs againstcorrosion by oiling. Separator parts that arenot assembled after cleaning should be wipedand protected against dust and dirt.

The Grings should be removed.

lf the separator has been shut down for morethan 12 months, a Major Service (MS) shouldbe carried out.

¡.', i Great attention must be paid not to contiaminate

i i the lubricatingoil. Of particular importance is toavoid mixing of different types of oil. Even a few

,,-,.1 drops of motoroilmixed into a synthetic oil may

L j result in severe foaming.

Any presence of black deposits in a mineral type

f*'l oil is an indication that the oilbase hasI "l deteriorated seriously or that some of the oil

additives have precipitated. Always investigate," '] why black deposits occurs.

' j lf it is necessary to change from one group of oil, :i brand to another it is recommended to do this ini connection with an overhaul of the separator., Clean the gear housing and the spindle parts

thoroughly and remove all deposits before fillingthe new oil.

NOTE

Always clean and dry parts (also tools)before lubricants are applied.

NOTE

Check the oil level before start. Top up whennecessary. Oilvolume see "8.1 Technicaldata" on page 124.

It is of utmost importance to use the lubricantsrecommended in our documentation. This doesnot exclude, however, the use ofother brands,provided they have equivalently high qualityproperties as the brands recommended. The useof oil brands and lubricants other thanrecommended, is done on the exclusiveresponsibility of the user or oil supplier.

Applying, handling and storing of lubricants

Always be sure to follow lubricant manufacturer'sinstructions.

8.10.3 Foundations

Specitication

. The separator should be installed at floorlevel, see the "Basic size drawings" on page130, 129 and 128.

. The separator must be installed on a strongand rigid foundation to reduce the influence ofvibrations from adjacent machinery.

Fit the separator frame on the foundation asfollows:

1. Place the separator without vibrationdampers (3) in position.

2. Check that the bolts do not press against theedges of the holes, otherwise the elasticity ofthe mounting of the separator frame will beimpeded.

3. Check that the separator frame is horizontaland that allfeet rest on the base plane.

4. Fit height adjusting washers required.

5. Lift the separator, fit the vibration dampers(3), lower and check that the bolts do notpress againstthe edges of the holes.

6. Fit the nut (2)and tighten with 16 Nm. Holdthe nut firmly and secure with the lock-nut (1).Repeat for the other frame feet.
