Intheinterest of brevity we shall hereafter assume that the liquid to be cleaned is fuel oil as lused fin compression ignition engines, but essentially the system is equally applicable to the cleaning of lubrication oil `orfother liquids. i
Experience has shown that the most leffective cleaner for fuel oil is a centrifuge including a `drum driven mechanically or electrically, or by jet'reactionas described Otherwise, the initial flow of fuel will be unfiltered, and
`there is also a great danger that any loose dirt in the centrifuge drum may be carried over and "cause lsevere 'wear to the engine injection equipment.
There may be loose vparticles of dirt inthe centrifuge `drum if the dirt consists of sandy material Without any gunimy constituent to bind it firmly to the drurn wall; rlhe solvent properties of the fuel oil and vibrationtend'to loosen the sandy cake from the vertical wall when -the drum is at rest.
Engines applied to road vehicles are subjected to frequent stopping and starting, and it is 'undesirablein applications of this class to have to employ anelaborate automatic gear toprovide the delay period during which drum speed is built'up before the fuel starts to flow. A
The .present invention has for an object to provide a centrifuge which can deliver finely filtered fuel immediately on starting.
According to the invention, in a Acentrifugal oil cleaner the centrifuge includes a rotatable drum and filter means so arranged that oil iiowing from the centrifuge drum passes through the filter means 4in a ccntripetal direction.
The drum may be fixed to,orrotatable with,"a`sp'indle formed with inlet and outlet passageways or ducts terminating in inlet and outlet openings through which oil is conducted into and out of the drum. Alternatively, the spindle may be fixed, the drum being supported by and rotatable about a fixed shaft. In another alternative the drum may be supported by and rotatable about two fixed stub shafts.
The inlet passageways or duct may terminate in at least one stand pipe parallel to and radially spaced from the axis of the drum, the inlet opening being the open end of the stand pipe which is preferably brought near the top of the drum.
The outlet opening may be at least one port in the wall of the spindle, or of the shaft, the filtering element being in the form of a cylinder co-axial with and surrounding the spindle or the shaft.
In a preferred construction, the centre portion of the spindle is formed with a broad annular groove from the bottom of which an opening leads to the discharge passageway or duct, a perforated sleeve surrounds the spindle, and a cylindrical filtering element surrounds the sleeve. Thefiltering element rotates with the drum at a rotational speed'such that the centrifugal force is great enough to prevent dirt deposits from forming on said element, and also great enough to throw off the dirt deposits which may have formed temporarily on said element during the startingup period.
The dirt collects on the inside of the drum and can be scraped out at convenient cleaning-periods. The filter- -ing element, being self-cleaning, requires no attention.
The filtering element may be made of a material hav, ing smaller interstices than is practicable ina conventional oil cleaner, because in conventional cleaners the deposits of `fine dirt which would build upon a fine grade element would be too dense and would quickly slow down land eventually block the flow through the element.
The filtering element may consist of dense felt, paper, porous metal, ceramic, etc., provided `these are constructed to resist :break-up or displacement when subjected lto -a high centrifugal force.
'The centrifuge operates well with a centrifugal force of 600 g at the filtering lelement and 1000 g at the mean radius of the dirt collection zone, but these values -are not critical, and should be regarded only as preferred minim for steady conditions.
`Only one fuel feed pump is required in conjunction with an oil cleaner as described because the output pressure from this pump can supply both the force for driving the drum and also the force to feed the fuel from `the centri- `fuge to the engine injection pump.
A practical 'embodiment of the invention in which the ydrum is rotated by jet reaction is illustrated inthe accompanying drawings in which Fig. l is a section on a horizontalplane through a filter, and Fig. 2 is a section through a'filter on the line 2 2 of Fig. l. u -In the drawings, 1 denotes a casing containing -a drum 2 `fixed to a spindle 3 formed with an axial inlet passageway or duct 4 connecting with inlet pipes 5, and formed withan axial oil outlet passageway orduct 6 open to a discharge 'connection 7 on the top of the lcasing 1. The .passageways 4 and 6 are in communication with `the 'exterior o f the casing through extensions 8 and 9 of the spindle, said extensions serving as journals supported in bearings in the casing 1. The central portion of the spindle 3 is provided with a broad annular groove 15 surrounded by aperforated sleeve 10 encased in a cylindrical filtering element 11. l12 denotes stand pipes open at the topend tothe interior of the drum and terminating at the lower` end in reaction nozzles of vwhich `'one is illustrat'ed at 13. V14 denotes a deposit of dirt on the inside of the drum 2. The 4passageway 4 is open to an oil supply connection 16. y
ln'practice, fuel is normally drawn 'from a fuel tank by an engine-driven feed pump which may be of the spring-loaded plunger type giving a nearly constant delivery pressure over a wide range of engine speeds. The fuel is fed under pressure to the drum 2 and enters the drum 2 through the inlet passageway 4 and the inlet pipes 5. As the drum rotates, centrifugal action separates and deposits dirt Von the drum wall.
Cleaned fuel for the engine passes through the filtering element 11 and out through the perforated sleeve 10 and the outlet passageway 6 in the spindle 3. The remainder of the fuel passes out through the pipes 12 and reaction nozzles 13. The fuel from the nozzles 13 drains directly back to the fuel tank.
Before reaching the engine, fuel from the cleaner may be conducted through an orifice or spring-loaded valve to reduce the fuel pressure to a convenient value.
An advantage associated with a reaction jet driven oil cleaner as described lies in the fact that on shut down of the cleaner an automatic reversal of flow takes place through the ltering element. The ow reversal occurs when the engine stops and the feed pump has ceased to deliver fuel. The drum momentum, however, causes the drum to spin for a short time before coming to rest. During this period the moving nozzles act as a pump and cause the oil to ow back out of the element, thus flushing the element and supplementing the normal centrifugal self-cleaning action.
An advantage connected with the use of stand pipes is that they prevent dirt, which may become loosened from the drum walls by the solvent properties of the fuel when the drum is at rest, from sliding down into the inlet and the jet passages.
Under any given operating conditions one series of inspection checks on the rate of dirt accumulation in the drum will indicate the desirable regular cleaning interval.
A cleaner as described can be used for the full ow or by-pass filtration of lubricating oil or other liquids.
