Abstract
A novel Fine-Particles-Removing Device (FPRD) is disclosed. The FPRD can be used removing fine particles from a flow of gas. Some embodiments of the FPRD can comprise a housing having a peripheral wall, upper and lower extremities wherein the housing comprises at least one inlet opening for receiving the gaseous stream and an inner-ring having a plurality of gaps. The housing can be associated with outlet means for removing of solid contaminants from the housing into a collecting receptacle for collecting the removed solid contaminants from the outlet means. In addition a pressure-manipulating-device (PMD) can be placed between the outlet means and the collecting receptacle.
Claims12
A Fine-Particles-Removing Device (FPRD) comprising:
- a housing defined by a peripheral wall and by upper and lower extremities, wherein the housing comprises at least one inlet opening configured to receive a gaseous stream and an inner-ring having a plurality of gaps angled relative to a direction of flow to force the gaseous stream to rotate in the form of an artificial tornado and wherein the lower extremity has a diameter;
- a hollow truncated cone that is associated with the lower extremity of the housing;
- a bunker that is associated with the lower extremity of the hollow truncated cone, the bunker being configured to collect solid contaminants falling from the hollow truncated cone;
- and
- a pressure-manipulating-device (PMD) that is placed inside the bunker at a distance “D” below the hollow truncated cone;
- and
- wherein the PMD is associated with an upper extremity of an upper section of the bunker by two or more long screws enabling the PMD to be adjusted such that a top of the PMD is a distance “D” below the hollow truncated cone.
