The terminal insert has a distinct member positioned within the cyclone separator to impinge upon at least a portion of the fluid as it rotates within the cyclone separator to destructively interfere with the rotational motion of the fluid within the cyclone separator.

A cyclone dust-separating apparatus including a cyclone body having a cyclone chamber and a dirt-collecting chamber enclosing an outer circumference of the cyclone chamber, an upper cover disposed on an upper end of the cyclone body to form a connection passage between the cyclone chamber and the dirt-collecting chamber, and a backflow prevention protrusion formed on an inner wall of the upper cover, for preventing dirt collected in the dirt-collecting chamber from flowing back to the cyclone chamber.

A cyclone separator having an improved efficiency to remove a broader spectrum of contained particles is disclosed. The inner wall of the cyclone separator is configured to continuously impart changes in the acceleration of a fluid as it rotates within the cyclone cavity.

A cyclone separator having an improved efficiency to remove a broader spectrum of contained particles is disclosed. The cyclone separator is provided with a member positioned to interact with at least the inner portion of a fluid circulating within the cyclone cavity to impart changes in the acceleration of the fluid as it rotates within the cyclone cavity.

An air cleaner is provided with a reduced restriction precleaner cooperating with a tangential inlet and centering and locating an annular filter element, and reducing inlet restriction.

A system and related method for concentrating biological culture and circulating biological culture and process fluid is provided. The system includes a continuous flow separator that removes excess fluid from the culture medium, resulting in a “concentrated medium” of fluid. The concentrated medium is then passed along for further processing to capture the biomass. The overflow, i.e., the extracted fluid, from the continuous flow separator is reintroduced into the container in a manner to circulate the culture medium. Thus, energy from the concentration step is utilized to circulate the culture medium, alleviating the need for significant additional structure for circulating the culture medium. In this manner, the system grows and captures biological material in an energy and capital efficient manner.

A powered air cleaning system (1) and air cleaning method are disclosed. The system has a flow path (22) extending through the system from an air inlet (4) to a clean air outlet (5). A motor-driven fan (24) located along the flow path draws particulate debris laden air into the inlet and rotates it about an axis (A—A) to form a rotating flow that stratifies the debris laden air with the heaviest particles in the outermost orbits of the rotating flow. An ejector port (25) is provided for ejecting particulate debris laden air from the stratified rotating flow in the system to the environment. An air filter (9) located within the rotating flow and across the flow path upstream of the outlet filters air from the innermost orbits of the stratified rotating flow. The motor-driven fan is operated to maintain a positive air pressure in the system on the filter even with cyclic air flow demands so that the rotating air flow continually sweeps the outside surface of the air filter to minimize buildup of debris on the filter.

An inertial separator comprising a tubular body, the tubular body comprises a composition comprising a polymer selected from the group consisting of a cyclic olefin polymer and a cyclic olefin copolymer, and, a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane and/or a flame retardant and/or an anti-static additive, is disclosed.

An inlet device to a separator including a generally tubular outer wall and a generally tubular inner wall. The walls define at least a part of a first annular path between them. An inlet opening provides for the passage of a fluid through the outer wall into the first annular path. At least one communication channel provides for the passage of a fluid from the first annular path into the second annular path. At least one movable closing element provides for at least partial closure of the fluid passage from the first path into the second path. The communication channel(s) is/are arranged to extend along the outside of the inner wall downwards from the first path into the second path, wherein the second path is arranged below the first path.

A cyclone comprises a cyclone chamber having an air inlet, an air outlet, a first end wall, a second end wall and a sidewall, the air inlet has an inlet end having a shape and a cross sectional area in a plane transverse to a direction of airflow through the air inlet, and the air inlet is provided at a first juncture of the sidewall and the first end wall, wherein the first juncture downstream of the inlet is configured to at least approximate a portion of the shape of the air inlet that is adjacent the first juncture.

The invention relates to a taper core type supersonic condensation cyclone separator, belonging to the technical field of expansion refrigeration and condensation separation of pressure gas. The taper core is inserted in a passage, and the diameter of the taper core is changed at different places, so as to form the passage with a gradually decreased section part, a constant throat part and a gradually increased section part; therefore, a constant diameter inner hole can be adopted to avoid gradually increased small taper pipe passage which is difficult to be machined, so that the spin strength is not weakened due to the diameter increase. The taper core type supersonic condensation cyclone separator enables low-temperature working condition by means of pressure expansion and cooling of the gas, and reinforces spin by means of diameter decrease to generate strong centrifugal force field. The pressure can be increased after separation. The taper core type supersonic condensation cyclone separator has the advantages of no moving pieces, no need of external drive, energy saving, compact size, low cost, stable and reliable operation, and applicability to condensation separation of mixed gas with high pressure and low flow rate and separation of heavy components of natural gas and petroleum gas, in particular to offshore platform and other occasions with limited space due to compact size.

A cyclone separator including an initial cyclone arrangement (1) arranged first in relation to a flow direction (18) through the separator; a second cyclone arrangement (2) connected in series with the initial cyclone arrangement; a bypass channel (3) bypassing the second cyclone arrangement (2), and a volumetric flow controlled valve device (4) for selectively directing a partial stream (5) through the bypass channel (3).

An apparatus and method for commissioning steam turbine generator power plants to advance the cleanliness of the complete steam cycle by the conditioned discharge of steam to the plant surface condenser.

A cyclone and a cyclone air purifier include a device with an inlet port structure such that a suction area through which a fluid is suctioned into the cyclone is increased, pressure loss is reduced, and a centrifugal force applied to the fluid is increased, to improve performance of air purification and to reduce noise. The cyclone includes a cylinder into which a fluid is suctioned, a guide extended from the cylinder, an outlet pipe provided in a center of the cylinder to guide a fluid that inversely rises to be discharged, and a vortex induction member provided between the cylinder and the outlet pipe to form vortex channels.

A skid mounted first and second stage centrifuges, each being provided with an input pump. Drilling mud is delivered to the first pump, the first stage and then into a tank for storing temporarily the liquids separated from the mud. The heavier weight components are segregated, stored and later added back to the liquid discharge of the second stage to provide an output stream of drilling mud having a specified weight for use in drilling. The lighter weight components are removed at the second stage and are discarded to clean the mud. A control system provides for operation and control without overloading.
