ABSTRACT:
A device for the physical separation of particles from a gas stream consisting of a two-dimensional flow unit in which the flow is accelerated to the throat and then diffused so that the particles are inertially urged to the core and to the trap. It is unique in that a telescope two-stage nozzle-diffuser arrangement is used to obtain a compact, low pressure loss unit. The design is such that all inertal forces including the Magnus force within the boundary layer act in the direction of particle separation towards the core and a sharp particle size cutoff is obtained down to 2 micron.
