Abstract :
This paper proposes a method for removing contaminants from contaminated lubricating oil, which combines centrifugal separation and vacuum negative pressure. Mathematical models are developed for predicting the kinematic behavior of bubbles in composite motion under the complex actions of centrifugal force and vacuum negative pressure. Performance indices that describe the purification capacity of the separator are proposed to identify the main factors influencing the kinematic behavior of bubbles and to optimize the gas-liquid-solid separator.
