Difference between Clarifier and Purifier

Clarifier

1. It is a centrifuge which is used to separate solid impurities from the oil. 
2. Gravity disc is not present in it . It has sealing ring.
3. Blind Disc is present at the bottom.
4. It has one outlet for cleaning oil.
5. It requires no sealing water .

Purifier

1. It is a centrifuge which is used to separate finer solid impurities and water from the oil.
2. It has gravity disc to create oil and water interface.
3. Blind disc is present at the top .
4. It has two outlets one for clean oil and other for water.
5. It requires sealing water .

Wire drawing effect

Wire drawing effect : It is erosion or scoring of valve seat and disc material of the valve . Causes : 1. Due to differential pressure across the valve . 2. Thermal and mechanical damages . Effects : Valve is unable to isolate the line and fails in sealing . Gas and liquid will leak from the wire and scratch like groove .

Cross and loop scavenging Disadvantage

Cross scavenging Disadvantage 1. It requires longer  piston skirt to prevent exhaust gas and air leaks from the ports when piston is at TDC . Loop scavenging Disadvantage 1. Both exhaust port and scavenge port are at the adjacent side of the liner which causes temperature differential problem for the liner material . Hence , we are using mostly the uniflow scavenging which is having very lesser mixing and better scavenging efficiency. Source : DA Taylor
