A PARTUCLE SEPARATOR FOR SEPARATING SOLIDS AND GASES IN A HOT GAS STREAM HAVING SOLIDS ENTRAINED THEREIN

摘要

A separator for separating solid particles from a hot gas stream comprises a cyclone chamber having an axial gas outlet conduit. The outlet conduit is formed by a plurality of cooling tubes defining between the tubes a plurality of passages for the gas. The outlet conduit is connected to an opening in one or both ends of the cyclone chamber. Solids are separated by centrifugal forces as the gas flows in a curved path in the cyclone chamber and by inertia forces as the gas changes direction to flow into the outlet conduit.
