Abstract
A separator is disclosed for removing from a gas stream suspended particulates such as liquid droplets and finely divided solids. A housing chamber encloses a tube that contains a gas swirl device for imparting a swirling motion to the gas stream entering the inlet of the tube. A separator conduit is axially aligned with the tube and has its upstream end coaxially located in the downstream end of the tube, defining an annular ejection port. Suspended particulates and scavenging gas are discharged into the chamber through the annular ejection port. The downstream end of the separation conduit is in communication with the outlet of the housing. A passage is provided for returning the scavenging gas to the main gas stream at the outlet of the housing. A separation device is located in the passage to cleanse the scavenging gas of suspended particulates prior to recombination with the main gas stream.
