Title: Particle separator

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6626160

A cyclone type particle separator comprising a lower cone with a particle outlet, an intermediate cylinder and an upper truncated cone. An inlet is opened at the intermediate cylinder tangentially or involutedly thereof and adjacent to the upper end of the lower cone so that the particle-laden gas can freely spiral upward in the intermediate cylinder and the upper truncated cone while the particles separated drop into the lower cone. The top wall of the upper truncated cone is spaced apart from the inlet by a suitable distance, and upper particle trapping chambers are extended tangentially and outwardly from the upper truncated cone and is contiguous with the top wall so that the particles separated in the upper truncated cone adjacent to the top wall thereof can be trapped and collected in the upper trapping chambers.
