Abstract
A horizontal cyclone separator in which a furnace section and a vortex chamber communicating with the furnace section and having an inlet which extends a fraction of the length of the furnace section receives a mixture of the gaseous products of combustion and solids entrained by the gases. A coaxially disposed tube extends partially into the chamber to allow the separated gases to exit the separator. A ring-shaped solids deflector is disposed on the vertical wall opposite the coaxially disposed tube to prevent solids from bouncing off the rear wall towards the center of the separator and into the path of the separated gas stream. The separated solids fall into an outlet trough formed in a lower portion of the furnace section for returning the solids to the furnace section.
