The disclosure relates to an axial-flow centrifugal separator for separating particles from a dispersion, in particular a suspension, which contains the particles and a fluid, the separator including a hollow cylindrical pipe section for conducting the dispersion in a conducting direction. An inner wall of the hollow cylindrical pipe section may have an internal thread, the lead angle of which increases in the conducting direction.

Provided is a cyclone dust collector with a higher particle collection efficiency than before. The cyclone dust collector includes an inner wall being arranged on an edge portion of a first cross section defined by a plane containing a center axis of the cylindrical case and part of the spiral flow path intersecting with each other and being adapted to make the part of the flow path narrower and a first nozzle that sprays the water mist toward the air passing through a constricted part being part of the spiral flow path made narrower by the inner wall.

A turbine engine having a compressor section, a combustor section, a turbine section, and a rotatable drive shaft that couples a portion of the turbine section and a portion of the compressor section. A bypass conduit couples the compressor section to the turbine section while bypassing at least the combustion section. At least one particle separator is located in the turbine engine having a separator inlet that receives a bypass stream, a separator outlet that receives a reduced-particle stream flows, and a particle outlet that receives a concentrated-particle stream comprising separated particles. A conduit, fluidly coupled to the particle outlet, extends through an interior of at least one stationary vane.

A method of separating a fluid includes adding a fluid to a canister of a fluid separator. The canister includes first and second barriers disposed concentrically within the canister that define a first and second annulus within the canister, and a canister rotor having a first magnet associated therewith. The method includes rotating an induction base rotor disposed within an induction base. The induction base rotor includes a second magnet. The canister rotor and the induction base rotor are magnetically coupled and rotating the induction base rotor causes the canister rotor to rotate. The method further includes forming a vortex in the fluid via the rotation of the canister rotor, and the vortex causes the fluid to separate into a first component and a second component.

A separator assembly is provided for, among other things, separating debris particles from a fluid in a fluid system. In an embodiment, the separator assembly may include a housing forming an internal chamber. An inlet port may be in communication with the internal chamber of the housing, and the inlet port can be oriented in a tangential relationship relative to the internal chamber. A first debris separation ring may be disposed in the housing and can extend around an inner surface of the internal chamber. A second debris separation ring can be disposed in the housing and can extend around the inner surface of the internal chamber, wherein the second debris separation ring may be spaced from the first debris separation ring.

A cyclone filter includes a body including a cylindrical surface extending between a first end and a second end, and defining a cavity of the cyclone filter. An air inlet is formed through the cylindrical surface and is configured to receive airflow from a laundry cabinet and to direct the airflow along the cylindrical surface within the cavity. A vortex diverter extends within the cavity from the second end and is configured to interrupt airflow as it passes within the cavity between the diverter and the cylindrical surface to separate particulates from the airflow. A particulate outlet formed through the cylindrical surface and axially spaced from the air inlet is configured to direct particulates separated from the airflow toward a particulate receptacle.

An inertial separator for removing particles from a fluid stream includes a body defining a through passage, with at least one separator inlet and at least one separator outlet, a turn provided in the body between the at least one separator inlet and the at least one separator outlet, and a flow splitter having at least one particle outlet fluidly coupled to the outside of the through passage.

A cyclone type dust collecting apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the claimed disclosure includes a collection container having a tubular shape extending in a front-rear direction, the collection container including a front end surface and a rear end surface, an inflow portion into which air flows, the inflow portion being connected to a peripheral surface of the collection container, and an inner cylinder that penetrates the rear end surface, a portion of the inner cylinder being disposed inside the collection container. In the cyclone type dust collecting apparatus, the inner cylinder includes, at a peripheral surface in a portion positioned inside the collection container, an outlet through which the air flows out, the rear end surface has a width that is larger than that of the front end surface, and the inflow portion is disposed unevenly on a front side.

The invention relates to a suction unit (1), having a housing (3) which encloses a process chamber (2) and has at least one volume flow inlet (4) and at least one volume flow outlet (5), wherein the housing (3) conducts the volume flow and, to this end, has a helical contour (32) with at least one turn (31), the at least one volume flow inlet (4) is arranged at the upper end of the helical contour (32) such that the volume flow is introduced tangentially and is conducted downwards along the helical contour (32) inside the process chamber (2), and the volume flow outlet (5) is arranged on the helical axis (33) of the helical contour (32), and a filter body (6) is arranged upstream of the volume flow outlet (5) in the interior of the process chamber (2) through which filter body (6) the volume flow is conducted.

A method to focus forward momentum of a material increase the velocity of a specific material or a number of specific materials, said method comprising the steps of: introducing a slurry of material into a high velocity accelerator, where said high velocity accelerator is adapted to impart an increase in the velocity of the materials introduced therein; expanding the volume of the slurry introduced into the high velocity accelerator without diminishing the velocity of the material; entraining said expanded slurry through injection of a liquid at high velocity towards an outlet port located in the high velocity accelerator; and focusing the entrained slurry onto a pre-determined point located proximate the outlet port of the high velocity accelerator.
