Tabular bowl centrifuges as compared to disk bowl centrifuges___________________?
Correct answer: C. Operate at higher speed
- A. Can't be operated under pressure/vacuum
- B. Employ bowl of larger diameter
- C. Operate at higher speed
- D. Can't be used for separation of fine suspended solids from a liquid
Explanation
Tubular-bowl centrifuges use a small-diameter bowl and therefore operate at higher rotational speeds than disc-bowl centrifuges. Disc-bowl units use a wider bowl with conical discs to provide a large settling area at comparatively lower speed.
