Abstract
An electrostatic separator intended for separation of liquid phase systems, made up of mixtures of liquids of various electrical permittivity. In particular, the separator is intended for separation of an oil-and-water emulsion. The electrostatic separator contains a vessel, inside which there is suspended a system of electrodes energized from an external voltage source. The electrode system comprises at least one pair of conducting plates (), which is attached to a supporting frame () and electrically connected with the high voltage winding of a feeding transformer (), which is placed in the supporting frame (). The supporting frame () is preferably a casting of an insulating material. The conducting plates () of the electrode system are preferably connected to the winding of the feeding transformer () through a capacitive electrical connection.
