Abstract A separating apparatus for a surface treating appliance comprising a first cyclonic separating unit including at least one first cyclone, a second cyclonic separating unit located fluidly downstream from the first cyclonic separating unit and including a plurality of second cyclones arranged fluidly in parallel about a first axis (Y), wherein the plurality of second cyclones are grouped into at least a first set of second cyclones arranged about the axis and a second set of second cyclones arranged about the axis (Y). Each of the cyclones in the first set of second cyclones defines a longitudinal axis (C1) and includes a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, and each of the cyclones in the second set of second cyclones defines a longitudinal axis (C2) and includes a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The fluid inlets of the first set of second cyclones are spaced in a direction along the axis (Y) from the fluid inlets of the second set of second cyclones, and wherein the cyclones of the first set of second cyclones are arranged so as to extend about some or all of the cyclones in the second set of second cyclones, such that the second set of second cyclones are at least partially nested within the second set of second cyclones, wherein the longitudinal axis (C1) of each of the cyclones in the first set of second cyclones defines a first included angle (01) with the first axis (Y), and wherein the longitudinal axis (C2) of each of the cyclones in the second set of second cyclones defines a second included angle (e2) with the first axis (Y), wherein the second included angle (0 2 ) is less than the first included angle (e1) 62 86a 0 C) 1 8 4 b12 FIG-864 |
