Abstract
Each of a plurality of cyclones is suspended from the roof of a vessel by means of tubular extensions of their barrels. These tubular extensions are slotted lengthwise to minimize thermal stresses in the vessel head. Importantly, this hanging scheme provides a direct extension within the load path for the cyclone weight, thus supporting the cyclone in tension stresses rather than high bending stresses.
