Method for reducing pressure losses in cyclone separator and ducting system for cyclone separator

摘要

A method for reducing pressure losses in a cyclone separator includes introducing a gas entraining a particulate material into a duct connected to the cyclone separator, separating at least a portion of the particulate material through an opening formed in a bottom surface of a horizontally extending section of the duct in proximity to a junction point of the duct to the cyclone separator, and introducing the gas entraining the particulate material into the cyclone separator. A ducting system for the cyclone separator includes the duct and the opening. The particulate material is prevented from being deposited and heaped in the vicinity of the junction point.
