Abstract
The present invention relates to a process and a device for eliminating particles from a stream of fluid, having a channel for turbulent flow of the fluid and a series of objects placed along the channel.
Claims13
1) Device for eliminating the particles contained in a stream of fluid comprising a container (10) with a passage for the fluid stream in turbulent flow and a plurality of objects oriented transversely relative to the direction of flow, said objects having edges communicating with the stream of fluid and defining between them at least one stagnant space where the particles are recovered;
- characterized in that
- (a) the objects are plates provided with slots that extend inward from said edges;
- (b) or the objects are pleated elements such that each side of the pleats is in contact with the stream of fluid;
- (c) or the objects are comprised of a fibrous pad, a fibrous mat, or a fibrous fabric disposed along the gas stream;
- such that the slots, edges of the two sides of the pleated elements, or pads, fabrics, or fibers furnish additional edges for catching particles.
13) Method for elimination of particles contained in a fluid stream with turbulent flow, comprising penetration of vortices from at least part of said stream into spaces defined between objects disposed near each other and recovery of said particles from the surfaces of said objects as the vortices are damped.
