METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING PARTICLES FROM A FLOW BY CENTRIFUGAL FORCE

摘要

TITLE OF THE INVENTION: METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING PARTICLES FROM A FLOW BY CENTRIFUGAL FORCE Solid particles suspended in a flowing gas are separated from the gas by tangentially driving the gas and particles into a substantially cylindrical eddy chamber substantially along the entire axial length of the chamber. Axially arranged suction pipes are connected to suction fans and reach mirror-symmetrically into the eddy chamber for withdrawing the clean gas from a central zone of the chamber. The eddy chamber has end walls through which the suction pipes extend concentrically relative to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical eddy chamber. Particle exits are provided in the chamber end walls at points to which secondary flows tend to transport the particles. These particle exits are so located that they are in line with the transport direction of the particles by the secondary flows.
