Q

If the bowl of a centrifugal purifier is improperly reassembled with O-ring seals that have become hard and flat, the centrifuge __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Centrifugal purifier operation – how the water seal and O‑rings keep the clean and dirty phases properly separated • Function of O‑ring seals in a high‑speed rotating bowl – what happens when they harden and lose elasticity • Difference between a mechanical failure (bearings/speed) and a sealing/separation failure (leakage, cross‑contamination)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if O‑rings are hard and flat, what is the FIRST thing they can no longer do effectively in a purifier bowl? • Think about what the water seal’s job is in a purifier and how bad sealing could change the flow of oil, water, and sludge. • Which options describe results of poor separation or leakage, and which options describe issues that would more likely come from rotating/shaft problems?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify what the water seal does in a centrifugal purifier and how it relates to oil/water interface inside the bowl. • Decide which answer choices describe a direct effect of poor sealing versus indirect or unrelated damage. • Verify in your mind whether hardened O‑rings would immediately affect bearing condition or bowl speed, or mainly the internal separation and discharge pattern.
