<p>14. "IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO CYCLONE SEPARATORS" The invention concerns a method of an apparatus for separating fluids containing particulate matter into two or more fractions of different densities, A cyclone separator (1) is utilised for this purpose and differs from previous constructions inasmuch as it is a uni-directional, air cored device having an inlet (i) only for the fluid (A) in the top and two, three or more separate outlets (11,15,37,41,45,51) in the bottom, remote from the inlet, one (11,41) of which outlets extends axially of the separator. In operation particles (as defined in the specification) once separated from the streamline (A') in which they enter the device are constrained against traversing that streamline. Means (5) are provided adjacent the inlet (7) to stabilise the initial flow of fluid. The axially extending cutlet (11,41) may be adjustable and means (55) may be provided for elutriating heavy reject flow (Z). Specific embodiments separate into light reject (X) and accept (Y) fractions; into light reject (X), accept (Y) and heavy reject (Z) fractions; and accept (X) and heavy reject (Z) fractions.</p> |
