APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING PARTICULATE MATERIAL FROM HOT GAS

摘要

A method and apparatus are disclosed for separating particulates from hot gas in the type of system employing a particulate gas chamber, a clean gas outlet chamber and an array of separator units. The structure defining the clean gas chamber is suspended solely from a top cover of a housing thus avoiding serious heat differential problems. The separator units are provided with a novel inlet to enhance separation efficiency, and a method is provided for increasing bypass of particulate past the separator units without adversely affecting the operation thereof.
