Abstract
Disclosed is a cyclone whose body has a form of a sphere. The spherical form of the cyclone causes the volume of the cyclone to be compact. Further, this allows the pressure loss in the body to be reduced with an advantage that the cyclone can be operated by a blower whose gas volume is smaller.
