Abstract
The centrifugal separator has a rotating bowl and a rotating conveyor with an acceleration chamber arranged coaxially within the bowl. The centrifugal separator further has a separation chamber, which is radially limited by the bowl and the conveyor, respectively, and the acceleration chamber is provided with feed ports for inlet of feed material into the separation chamber. A feed accelerator is arranged coaxially within the acceleration chamber and is rotating in use around a common axis of rotation relative to the conveyor at a lower speed than the conveyor. The feed accelerator has a discharge outlet for discharge of feed material into the acceleration chamber of the conveyor. The feed ports extend a first axial area and the discharge outlet extends a second axial area, whereby the first and the second axial area are overlapping.

11. A centrifugal separator comprising:
-
a bowl rotating in use around an axis of rotation, said axis of rotation extending in a longitudinal direction of said bowl, a radial direction extending perpendicular to the longitudinal direction; a conveyor arranged coaxially within said bowl and rotating in use around said axis of rotation, said conveyor comprising an acceleration chamber, a separation chamber being radially outwards limited by said bowl and radially inwards limited by said conveyor, said acceleration chamber being provided with feed ports for inlet of feed material into the separation chamber, and a feed accelerator arranged coaxially with said conveyor within said acceleration chamber and rotating in use around said axis of rotation relative to the conveyor at a lower speed than the conveyor, said feed accelerator having a discharge outlet for discharge of feed material trough said discharge outlet into said acceleration chamber of the conveyor, wherein said feed ports extend a first axial area and said discharge outlet extends a second axial area, the first and the second axial area overlapping mutually such that feed material flows from the discharge outlet through the feed ports in direction having a radial and a circumferential component. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
