Abstract: | A calculation relation is suggested for the calculation of the deposit pressure on the head (cover) of the centrifuge drum, which takes into account the fraction of gaps among the deposit particles and the coefficient for the transmission of the pressure on a perpendicular direction, depending of the main direction of its action. The value of pressure, calculated by the suggested relation, is over 10% reduced then that obtained by the known relations. This fact allows the elimination, without risk, oversizing the head (cover) of the drum in the centrifuge. |
