Contaminated liquid enters the
hydrocyclone at high velocity through the inlet opening and flows into the
whirl chamber. As the liquid swirls downward in the conical separation
chamber, its velocity increases. Solid contaminants are thrown against the
walls, forced to the bottom, and discharged through a nozzle. As the
whirling cleaned liquid approaches the bottom, it is unable to exit the
restricted discharge nozzle, reverses direction, forms an inner vortex and
seeks the clean liquid outlet. |
