ABSTRACT:
A fluid particle separator comprises a tube having an output end open to atmospheric pressure for transporting axially migrated particles suspended in a carrier fluid. A physical barrier, such as a smaller diameter tube axially inserted near the output end of the tube, and resistance matched to the tube, allows separation of the axially migrated particles from the carrier fluid by being designed so that the pressure drop from its inlet to its outlet is substantially equal to the pressure drop in the remainder of the tube from the barrier to the tube output end.
