Abstract
A centrifugal separator for separating a fluid mixture into components includes a rotor which forms within itself a separation space delimited by a rotor wall, and includes a set of separation plates defining separation passages there between. An inlet is arranged for supply of a fluid mixture to be separated and a first outlet is arranged for a separated lighter first component of the fluid mixture. A sludge space is being defined as an annular portion of the separation space radially outside the separation plates. A second outlet is arranged for discharge of a separated denser second component of the fluid mixture extending from the radially outer portion of the sludge space. A plurality of sludge space plates, which sludge space plates are separate components from the separation plates, is arranged in the sludge space, extending outwardly and in an annular direction with respect to the rotational axis, while forming a gap between the sludge space plates and the rotor wall.
