ABSTRACT:
Hydrocyclones for use in separator assemblies, which have stationary wall members or at least one removable wall member and contain a plurality of hydrocyclones, include a tubular body having an under flow end and an overflow end. The hydrocyclone has an interior defined by an axially-extending frusto-conical separating chamber which extends from an inlet chamber nearer the overflow end to an underflow outlet opening at the underflow end. The body also has a rectangular tangential inlet to the inlet chamber. The hydrocyclone further includes a tubular vortex-finder member which fits through the overflow end of the body into a cooperating seat therein. The vortex-finder member is seated in a predetermined position in which a portion thereof extends through the inlet chamber to define the axial overflow outlet from the separating chamber. The portion has a helical guide surface to guide the inlet flow from the tangential inlet towards the separating chamber.
