Abstract
An inducer with reduced number of blades and varying density porous media disks are arranged in a deoiler mounted on a rotating shaft for total free separation of the oil from and air/oil mixture. The porous media disks are arranged with the lower density grade coming into contact with the air/oil mixture and proceeds toward the higher density grade. The arrangement of the stages of separation, the specially designed oil discharge holes and the flow geometry maximizes oil separation and removal and reduces pressure losses to control the pressure drop of the deoiler.
