<p>A separating apparatus (12) for a surface treating appliance (2), comprising a first cyclonic separating unit (20) including at least one first cyclone, and a second cyclonic separating unit (22) located fluidly downstream from the first cyclonic separating unit and including a plurality of second cyclones (50) arranged fluidly in parallel about a first longitudinal axis (Y), wherein the plurality of second cyclones are grouped into at least a first set of second cyclones (70) 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 (CI) an includes an air inlet (50c) and an air outlet. The air inlets of the first set of second cyclones are spaced along the axis from air inlets of the second set of second cyclones, and each outlet of the cyclones in the first set of second cyclones and each outlet of the cyclones in the second set of second cyclones is in fluid communication with an exhaust duct (94), wherein the exhaust duct includes a first portion which extends between two of the cyclones of at least the first set of second cyclones.</p> |
