<p>A method and apparatus for separating a medium into components having different particle masses by means of centrifugal force in free turbulence flow operated equipment, e.g. cyclones. The invention serves to reduce the friction resistance between a vortex and a chamber by removing part of a chamber wall or an entire chamber wall from between parallel vortexes. The supporting action of a chamber wall is compensated for by having parallel, oppositely rotating vortexes collide with each other at an angle of 0 to 90.degree.. Turbulence separators can be built up into large systems in which parallel vortexes are disposed e.g. in circular configuration or in a regular square net. Having the vortexes collide with each other further acts to develop a separating power intensifying radial oscillating motion in vortexes.</p> |
