1 hr confidence:
clear space/clearence nearly/actually essential/required Explanation: Here space means clear space or clearance that is required for the rotor to rotate without producing froth. In the second paragraph, while giving the description of the separator and the method in which these needs to be assembled, the meaning becomes more clear, as the clearance that is absolutely essential between rotor and body for its proper functioning. |
