ASSEMBLY FOR COLLECTING MATERIAL ENTRAINED IN A GAS STREAM

摘要

An assembly for collecting material that is entrained in a gas stream comprises a housing defining a space within it, the housing having inlet and outlet ports for the gas that is to be filtered. The assembly includes a flow conduit which has a first conduit opening for communication with one of the ports and a second conduit opening for communication with the space within the housing. The axis of the first conduit opening and the axis of the second conduit opening are not aligned. The flow conduit contains at least one vane positioned within it so that the flow of gas along the conduit between the first and second conduit openings passes over the vane and is smoothed by it.
