CYCLONIC SEPARATION APPARATUS

摘要

The invention provides cyclonic separation apparatus (10) comprising a cyclone body (14) having at least one fluid inlet (18) and a fluid outlet, the fluid outlet being concentric with the longitudinal axis of the cyclone body (14) and comprising a vortex finder (26) projecting from an end surface (24) of the cyclone body (14) into the interior thereof, and a proboscis (30) located partially within the vortex finder (26) and projecting beyond the distal edge thereof so that the distance between the end surface (24) of the cyclone body (14) and the furthermost end of the proboscis (30) is at least twice the smallest diameter of the vortex finder (26), wherein the cross-sectional area of the proboscis (30) is circular at any point along its length.
