ABSTRACT:
A multi-vortical separator for removing particulate matter suspended in a transport medium is described. A single pressure sealed enclosure has a plurality of contoured columnar baffles symmetrically arranged in quadruplets, the baffles having cooperating saddle portions that define four vortical flow initiating flow splitters. The columnar portions of the baffles cooperate to define regions of rotating fluid wherein the transport medium rotates and particulate matter, suspended within the medium, is separated therefrom by centrifugal action. The separated particulate matter impinges on the columnar surfaces of the baffles and falls in a gravity fall manner into a collection bin. A plurality of vortex finder tubes, placed within the regions of rotating fluid, receives cleansed air from a central portion of the regions and guides it to the separator outlet.
