DEFINITION

Classification: 96/167

Centrifugal separating means:

(under subclass 165) Apparatus in which means are provided to separate entrained gas (e.g., bubbles, etc.) from the liquid under treatment by centrifugal force, causing the gas and liquid to rotate as by tangential flow about a central axis which forces the degasified liquid to move away from the axis and the separated gas to move toward the axis of rotation.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

171, for tangential flow or centrifugal separating means with liquid outlet valve responsive to float level.

177+, for centrifugal or rotating defoaming means.

195+, for centrifugal type flow modifier with means to reduce pressure.

216, for centrifugal type means with flow slinger, spreader, disperser, or restrictor.

447+, for fixed gas whirler or rotator gas separating means.

185, for liquid contacting processes with degasification of liquid by liquid flow modifying or mechanical agitating, and subclass 261 for processes of degasifying liquid by agitating or liquid flow modifying with the use of centrifugal force.
