DEFINITION
Classification: 96/177
Centrifugal or rotating separator:
(under subclass 176) Apparatus in which means are provided to separate entrained gas (e.g., bubbles, etc.) from the liquid under treatment (a) by centrifugal force, causing the gas or liquid to rotate as by tangential flow about a central axis which forces degasified liquid to move away from the axis and separated gas to move toward the axis of rotation or (b) by a
rotating separator, causing the liquid to be agitated, breaking a liquid film surrounding the gas (i.e., foam) and liberating the entrained gas.
