Billingsley, J G.S.

A separator is described for separating particles from a large volume of gas comprising a separating chamber, an upper gas discharge chamber mounted above said separating chamber and extending into and in flow communication with said separating chamber, a lower particle discharge chamber mounted below said separating chamber in flow communication with said separating chamber, feed means leading into and communicating with said separating chamber for directing a stream of gas containing light and heavy particles in a downward direction in said separating chamber, said feed means confining the stream and directing the stream spirally and imparting a spin velocity and downward velocity component to the particles, and said separating chamber including a vertical wall made from a non-woven porous material having a pore size of about 1-50 microns through which gas may be externally released to reduce the volume of gas leaving said separating chamber through said upper and lower discharge chambers.
