Water removed through centrifugal force in the illustrated unit is displaced from the bowl through __________. Illustration GS-0124
• Centrifugal purifier flow paths for light (oil) and heavy (water) phases • How heavier water moves to the outer radius of the bowl and exits through its own outlet • The difference between a water discharge port and an oil/parings discharge port in a separator bowl
• First, trace where the separated water would collect in the bowl: is it toward the center or toward the outer shell? From that region, follow the passage that leads out of the machine. • Look at each labeled letter in the upper right area of the bowl and ask: does this passage connect to the outer (heavy) zone or inner (light) zone of the liquid stack? • Decide which label marks the outlet that is clearly aligned with the heavy phase path, not the clean oil path or sludge discharge.
• Be sure which side of the liquid stack is heavy phase (water) and which is light phase (oil) in the illustration. • Confirm that the letter you choose is on a passage that actually leaves the bowl casing, not just an internal channel or structural part. • Verify that the selected outlet is aligned with the outer radius region where the denser liquid would be thrown by centrifugal force.
