Abstract
A cyclone separator having an improved efficiency to remove a broader spectrum of contained particles is disclosed. The transverse section of the inner wall of the cyclone separator is configured to impart changes in the rate of acceleration of a fluid as it rotates within the cyclone cavity.
Claims58
A cyclone separator for separating a material from a fluid comprising a longitudinally extending body having a wall extending around an internal cavity, the wall having an inner surface, the internal cavity having, in transverse section, an inner portion in which the fluid rotates when the separator is in use to define a first cyclone and at least one outer portion positioned external to the inner portion and contiguous therewith, the outer portion of the cavity extending outwardly from the inner portion of the cavity each outer portion configured to produce at least one second cyclone exterior to the first cyclone and a low velocity zone in which material separated from the fluid travels longitudinally through the cyclone separator.
A cyclone separator for separating a material from a fluid comprising a longitudinally extending body having a wall which, in transverse section, extends in a closed path, the wall having a non-baffled inner surface which defines an internal cavity, the internal cavity having an inner portion in which the fluid rotates when the separator is in use to define a first cyclone, and at least one outer portion positioned external to the inner portion and contiguous therewith defining a zone in which the wall is configured to produce at least one second cyclone external to the first cyclone and to hinder re-entrainment of material separated from the fluid by the at least one second cyclone.
The separator as claimed in clam 37 herein the outer portions are positioned non-symmetrically around the inner portion.
A cyclone separator for separating a material from a fluid comprising a longitudinally extending separator having a wall, the wall having an inner surface and defining an internal cavity within which the fluid rotates when the separator is in use to define a first cyclone, and at least one outer portion and the at least one outer portion is configured to promote the formation of a second cyclone exterior to the first cyclone and to hinder re-entrainment of material separated from the fluid.
