ABSTRACT:
A debris suctioning and separating apparatus for use in a surface cleaning vehicle has a recirculating type debris suctioning system, including a debris suction head, a debris receiving and retaining hopper, and a main fan. A debris separator's mounted on the surface cleaning vehicle and having an air inlet for receiving debris-laden air into the debris separator, an air outlet for exhausting separated air from the debris separator, and a debris release outlet for selectively releasing separated debris from the debris separator. The air inlet of the debris separator is connected in fluid communication with the debris receiving and retaining hopper and the air outlet of the debris separator is connected in fluid communication with the main fan, to thereby draw debris-laden air, through the hopper, through the air inlet, and into the debris separator, and to exhaust separated air from the debris separator to the main fan. A valve is operatively mounted on the debris separator at the debris release outlet, to effect the controlled flow-restricted release from the debris separator of the separated and captured debris into a debris receptacle, and to preclude the ingress of air and debris into the debris separator through the debris release outlet. Debris is separated from the debris-laden air drawn through the air inlet and into the debris separator, during the operation of the recirculating type debris suctioning system.
