A cyclone separation system (1) for separating live insects, comprising a discharge nozzle (5) having a discharge end (7) comprising a discharge channel (8) for discharging live insects from the cyclone separation system (1) when in use. The discharge channel (8) comprises primary air injection channels (11) arranged to provide an injected upstream air flow (F) in an upstream direction (U) back into the discharge nozzle (5) for stopping discharge of live insects. The discharge nozzle (5) comprises an inner wall part (12) extending between an intake end (6) of the discharge nozzle (5) and the discharge channel (8), wherein the inner wall part (12) comprises elongated secondary air injection channels (13) extending from the discharge channel (8) in the upstream direction (U), wherein the secondary air injection channels (13) are arranged to provide an injected lateral air flow (V) along the inner wall part (12).

The invention relates to a new centrifugal filter for filtering impurities from liquid. Embodiments comprise a cylindrical housing having: (1) a top flow guiding assembly with a top portion having a first liquid outlet, a threaded middle portion, a bottom portion having a plurality of spiral flow guiding grooves adjacent the bottom portion, and a channel through a longitudinal axis; (2) a water inlet flow guiding assembly having a middle portion with a liquid inlet, and a channel through a longitudinal axis; (3) a recessed flow guiding assembly having a channel through a longitudinal axis which forms a conical taper; and (4) an impurity flow guiding assembly having a channel through a longitudinal axis that forms a second liquid outlet; each assembly releasably attachable within the cylindrical housing through threaded means.

A centrifugal filter comprises a top flow guiding assembly, a water inlet flow guiding assembly, a recessed flow guiding assembly, and an impurity flow guiding assembly, in which a liquid entering from a water inlet opening of the water inlet flow guiding assembly can generate a convolution in an inner portion of the recessed flow guiding assembly. After convoluting to a bottom portion of the recessed flow guiding assembly, heavier impurity components comprised by the liquid flows downwardly into the impurity flow guiding assembly, and the liquid without the impurity components convolutes upwardly. Finally, the top cover portion outwardly discharges the liquid without the impurity components.

A cyclonic separation apparatus includes an outer wall, an inner wall and a cyclonic chamber defined between the outer wall and inner wall. A section of the surfaces of both the outer wall and the inner wall are flattened. The inner wall and the outer wall are also concentrically arranged. During use a fluid moving around the cyclonic chamber flows between a curved passage and a flattened passage of the cyclonic chamber.

A cyclone filtration assembly unit is described. The unit is configured to mount in a vacuum cleaner, and includes a housing having a housing inlet for a dirty air stream and a housing outlet for a filtered air stream; one or more cyclone separators mounted in the housing, each of the one or more cyclone separators comprising one or more cyclone separator inlets, at least one dirt outlet, and at least one clean air outlet in fluid communication with the housing outlet; and one or more injector units configured to deliver an airstream of clean air from outside the housing and dirty air from inside the housing to the one or more cyclone separator inlets, the injector unit comprising: a diffuser duct having an inlet end in fluid communication with the housing inlet to introduce dirty air from the housing inlet to the cyclone separator inlet, and an injector tube configured to inject clean air into the diffuser duct adjacent the inlet end, the injector tube being in fluid communication with a housing aperture at an inlet end to introduce clean air from outside the housing to the diffuser duct.

The present disclosure provides a separator system for performing separation and dehydroxylation of fumed silica particles. The separator system includes a first inlet, a second inlet, a main body, a first outlet and a second outlet. The first inlet collects a primary feed of fumed silica particles from a gaseous stream into a double entry cyclone. The second inlet collects a secondary feed of chlorine gas into the double entry cyclone. The main body of the double entry cyclone is utilized in treating the primary feed and the secondary feed along with heat inside the double entry cyclone. Furthermore, the first outlet is utilized for releasing the dehydrated fumed silica particles and the second outlet is utilized for releasing the water molecules and other gases.

A compressor system includes an oil reservoir capable of producing a mixed air/oil flow of fluid via a breather port, as well as a cyclonic separator having an inlet annulus and a tapered section extending from the inlet annulus. The inlet annulus structured to swirl the mixed air/oil flow prior to moving toward a tapered internal section of the separator. A center post is positioned in the tapered internal section and includes a number of discs arranged along a length of the center post. The discs can be separate discs that are stacked upon one another to form the center post. The discs can include a skirt portion and a neck having one or more openings that permit a flow of at least air to enter into a central bore of the center post from the tapered internal section before exiting the separator.
