A separating device for separating particles from fluid in which an inlet passage is defined in the body member of the device for receiving the fluid and an outlet passage extends parallel to the inlet passage for discharging the fluid. A chamber is connected to the inlet passage for receiving the fluid from the inlet passage, and a separator is disposed in the chamber for separating particles from the fluid as the fluid flows through the chamber. A cover is connected to the chamber and the outlet passage for receiving the separated fluid, reversing the direction of the separated fluid and directing the separated fluid to the outlet passage for discharge from the body member. The cover can be a filter unit for providing additional filtering of the fluid.
A separating device for separating particles from fluid, the device comprising a body member defining an inlet passage for receiving the fluid, an outlet passage extending parallel to the inlet passage for discharging the fluid, a chamber connected to the inlet passage for receiving the fluid from the inlet passage, a separator disposed in the chamber for separating particles from the fluid as the fluid flows through the chamber, and a cover member connected to the chamber and the outlet passage for receiving the separated fluid, reversing the direction of the separated fluid and directing the separated fluid to the outlet passage for discharge from the body member.
A method of separating particles from a fluid flowing through a conduit comprising the steps of flowing the fluid into an inlet passage, directing the fluid to flow from the inlet passage to a chamber, directing the fluid to flow though the chamber, separating the particles from the fluid as the fluid flows through the chamber, discharging the separated fluid from the chamber and reversing the direction of flow of the fluid, and then directing the fluid to flow to a discharge passage for discharging the fluid.
