Boyland, D A

Centrifuges were designed consisting of rotors arranged for operation at high peripheral velocities and with an improved means of withdrawing the lighter fractions of centrifuged fluid from the rotor. The rotor is provided with at least one radial channel or section connected with the axial part of the main space within the rotor and to an external exhaust chamber so that, when the rotor is rotating, the light fraction of the fluid is evacuated by a centrifugal pumping action in the centrifuge in conjunction with such normal external pumping as may be necessary.
