Abstract (en)

The present invention provides a centrifugal separator configured to separate a heavy phase and a light phase from a liquid feed mixture. The separator is comprising a frame (2), a drive member (3) and a rotating part (4). The drive member (3) is configured to rotate the rotating part (4) in relation to the frame (2) around an axis of rotation (X), and the rotating part (4) comprises a centrifuge rotor (5) enclosing a separation chamber (9). Further, the separation chamber (9) comprises a stack (10) of separation discs (10a) arranged coaxially around the axis of rotation (X) and axially under a top disc (11) and the centrifugal separator (1) further comprises an inlet (14) for receiving the liquid feed mixture into the centrifuge rotor (5), a first outlet (6) for the heavy phase and a second outlet (7) for the light phase. The second outlet (7) is arranged in an outlet chamber (8) that is integrated in said top disc (11), said outlet chamber (8) being arranged such that its lowermost axial position (P1) is positioned axially below the uppermost axial position (P3) of the stack (10) of separation discs (10a).
