Abstract
A surface cleaning apparatus includes a momentum separator, which includes an outer liquid collection chamber and an inner solid collection chamber that is positioned within the outer liquid collection chamber and separated from the outer liquid collection chamber by an inner chamber wall. At least a portion of the inner chamber wall is porous. The air flow path comprises an inlet conduit that extends from the dirty air inlet to the inner solid collection chamber, and a downstream air flow path extends from the inner solid collection chamber to a suction motor and the porous portion of the inner chamber wall connects the inner solid collection chamber in fluid communication with the downstream air flow path. Air travelling through the inlet conduit enters the inner solid collection chamber in a first flow direction and air exits the inner solid collection chamber is a second, different flow direction.
