Cyclone particle separator

Abstract

Cyclone Particle Separator [Solution] The cyclone particle separator includes a housing including a cylindrical sidewall having a plurality of inlets. A cover member blocks a first end of the cylindrical sidewall, and a mounting member having an outlet opening defined therein is at a second end of the cylindrical sidewall. One or more particle outlet passages are defined within the housing. Each of the plurality of inlets includes an angled flow guide surface that directs a gas flow from upstream of the housing to enter the housing tangentially relative to the cylindrical sidewall and creates a cyclonic vortex. The cyclonic vortex acts to separate particles from the gas flow. The cylindrical sidewall has a first diameter and the outlet opening has a second diameter, the difference between the first diameter and the second diameter being greater than 12.5 mm.
