🔍 Key Concepts

• Sludge discharge cycle operation in a self-opening centrifuge bowl • Function of operating liquid (water) spaces: closing chamber vs. opening chamber • Role and flow path of ports J, X, and S in moving the sliding bowl bottom / piston slide

💭 Think About

• Once space "J" begins to fill, does that liquid initially act to open the bowl or to re‑position control pistons that will later cause opening? • Which component (sliding bowl bottom or piston slide) must move first to unlock and create the opening gap for sludge discharge? • How does liquid entering at port "X" change the balance of forces between the closing chamber and opening chamber on the bowl bottom?

✅ Before You Answer

• On the illustration, carefully trace where space J connects to port X and whether it can communicate directly with discharge port S at this moment in the cycle. • Identify which side of the piston slide and bowl bottom each liquid space (J, X, closing chamber, opening chamber) is acting on—above or below—and whether that would move the part up or down. • Confirm whether, at the beginning of sludge discharge, the operating liquid is supposed to be trapped or allowed to flow through to another space or port.
