ABSTRACT:
Rotating parallel disks create radial cyclonic vortices between them. The axes of these vortices communicate with the bore of a hollow shaft, and a vacuum is drawn in the shaft bore by the action of a centrifugal pump. Particles, mist, and heavy vapors such as mercury, are separated out of a gas stream by the radial vortices, which cause whatever is relatively heavy in the vortex to migrate away from the vortex axis and then contact the rotating disks, whereby they are expelled from the space between the disks. Application to mist elimination for steam is discussed, as are application to cyclonic cracking of hydrocarbons and separation of gaseous waste from intra-lattice fluid.
