Abstract
In a centrifugal separator an outlet member (9) is rotatably arranged within the centrifuge rotor (1, 2) such that it can be entrained in rotation by liquid having been supplied to the rotor. The outlet member (9) forms a groove (13) which is open towards the rotor axis and in which there opens an outlet channel (11) starting in the part of the rotor which contains, during operation of the rotor, a separated liquid component. A non-rotatable outlet member (7) has at least one outlet passage (8), one end of which opens in said groove (13) at a level where separated liquid component will be present during operation of the rotor only when the rotatable outlet member (9) is caused to rotate with a certain lower speed than the liquid within the rotor.
