Air cleaner - e.g. for air exhausted from milking machines and contaminated with lubricating oil from vacuum pump

摘要

The air cleaner has a connection for the contaminated air, an outlet for cleaned air and housing contg. a means of sepg. the oil from the air. The features claimed are a longitudinal centrally located inlet pipe which extends through the sepg. device and discharges into a space inside the housing and a plate which divides the housing into a chamber for the air and a chamber for the sepd. oil. The oil is deposited on the dividing wall and flows downwards through perforations in it under the press. of the dirty air. The cleaner is simple and cheap, is self cleaning, and does not require maintenance such as the changing of filter elements. Its efficiency is therefore not reduced by lack of attention.
