Abstract
A centrifugal separator assembly including a polygonal separator chamber formed of planar wall sections joined with each other to provide a substantially gas tight structure and having at least four pairs of planar opposite wall sections. The chamber includes a tapered portion formed by having a first inward bending in each of the wall sections. The tapered portion extends as a discharge channel for separated particles from the separator chamber, which discharge channel is formed of first and second pairs of opposite wall sections being perpendicular to each other. In the discharge channel for separated particles, the first pair of wall sections extends into the area between the second pair of wall sections.

A centrifugal separator assembly, comprising:
- a polygonal separator chamber formed of planar wall sections joined with each other to provide a substantially gas tight structure and having at least four pairs of planar opposite wall sections, the chamber including a tapered portion formed by having a first inward bending in each of the wall sections, the tapered portion extending as a discharge channel for separated particles from the separator chamber, which discharge channel is formed by first and second pairs of opposite wall sections being perpendicular to each other, wherein, in the discharge channel for separated particles, the first pair of wall sections extends into the area between the second pair of wall sections.
A circulating fluidized bed reactor for combusting or gasifying fuel material, the reactor comprising:
- a centrifugal separator for separating solid particles from process and product gases produced by the combusting or gasifying the fuel material in the reactor, the centrifugal separator assembly comprising:
- a polygonal separator chamber formed of planar wall sections joined with each other to provide a substantially gas tight structure and having at least four pairs of planar opposite wall sections, the chamber including a tapered portion formed by having a first inward bending in each of the wall sections, the tapered portion extending as a discharge channel for separated particles from the separator chamber, which discharge channel is formed by first and second pairs of opposite wall sections being perpendicular to each other, wherein, in the discharge channel for separated particles, the first pair of wall sections extends into the area between the second pair of wall sections.
