Apparatus and method for separating particles from a cyclonic fluid flow

摘要

An anti-reentrainment device is provided for use with a cyclone separator. The anti-reentrainment device comprises a plurality of upwardly extending members positioned towards the bottom of a cyclone chamber and extending radially inwardly across the cyclone chamber. The vanes separate the lower end of the cyclone from the cyclonic fluid flow portion, thereby creating a reduced flow region above particle settling out of a fluid in the cyclone. The device impedes the cyclonic flow from reentraining the separated particles.
