Abstract
A separation cone () is mounted into the interior chamber of a centrifugal separator rotor (), which comprises a cover () releasably connected to a base (), in order to provide a frusto-conical wall subdividing the chamber into upper and lower regions. This slows the passage of fluid from the upper to the lower region, which takes place via openings () and/or via a gap between the inner rim () of the cone () and the axial inlet tube (). The separation cone () is connected to the cover () by a releasable snap fit arrangement, such as by deflectable tabs () around the periphery of the separation cone () engaging into a groove () around the interior surface adjacent a lower edge of the cover (). This allows there to be a predetermined sequence of servicing operations and ensures that the separation cone () will reliably stay with the cover () when the cover is removed.
