Abstract
In liquid separators the separation surface is formed by a stack of conical plates~ The natural way to increase I is to increase both the dimensions (diameter and height) and also the number of the plates. However, this leads ultimately to an unacceptable increase in the rotor height, impairing the dynamic characteristics of the separators, and increasing the feed nonuniformity over the height of the stack. It is known that the current ratios between diameters and heights of the rotors have been dictated by experience over many years and have been supported by theoretical considerations in the details of the optimum dynamic characteristics of the separators. Increasing the number of plates is possible both due to a certain increase in the rotor height and also due to a decrease of the clearance between the plates for the individual liquids being separated. The volume bounded by a single plate of the separating stack, having a constant shape, may be expressed by the product aR~, where a is a constant of proportionality and R T is the greatest radius of the plate.
