An in-line fitment for connection of a filter to a pipe includes first and second fluid-carrying portions and a non-fluid-carrying spacer. Each fluid-carrying portion includes a socket for receiving an open end of a pipe and a connector for connection of the filter. A screw compression fitting is provided on each of the sockets of the first and second fluid-carrying portions for forming a sealed connection with the open ends of the pipe. The socket of the first fluid-carrying portion has a pipe receiving depth greater than that of the socket of the second fluid-carrying portion for enabling movement of the fitment parallel to the pipe when engaged with one of the open ends of the pipe. The sockets of the first and second fluid-carrying portions are positioned on a common axis and facing away from each other when the fluid-carrying portions are linked by the spacer.

A hand vacuum cleaner comprises a cyclone comprising a front end having a cyclone air inlet, a rear end having a cyclone air outlet and a cyclone axis of rotation extending between the front end and the rear end of the cyclone. A conical pre-motor filter is positioned rearward of the cyclone. The pre-motor filter has a front end that faces that faces towards the cyclone air outlet. A suction motor is positioned rearward of the pre-motor filter. The suction motor has an inlet end that faces towards a rear end of the pre-motor filter. A handle is provided at the rear end of the hand vacuum cleaner and is positioned rearward of the suction motor. The handle has an energy storage member housing, The cyclone axis of rotation and the suction motor axis of rotation are parallel, and the handle axis extends at an angle to the cyclone axis of rotation and the suction motor axis of rotation.

A cyclone separator for a powder recovery device of a powder coating system includes an inlet region with an inlet for a mixed flow of powder/air, a separation region adjoining the lower end region of the inlet region for the centrifugal separation of at least a portion of the powder contained in the mixed flow, and a powder collecting region connected or connectable to the lower end region of the separation region for collecting the powder separated in the separation region. The powder collecting region is shiftable relative to the separation region between a first position in which the powder collecting region is aligned in flush connection with the lower end region of the separation region and a second position in which the powder collecting region is not aligned in flush connection with the lower end region of the separation region.

Disclosed herein a Cyclone Filter for separating heavy particles from water or any other liquid. The filter comprises a Head (1) to introduce the liquid into the Filter, causing the liquid to swirl enhanced by internal shape of head (1) and flow of liquid takes turn around vertex pipe (3), said liquid containing solid foreign matter; a vertical Vertex pipe (3) to lead clean water out of the filter; a Vane (2) to separate Head from separation chamber; a Hollow Cylindrical separation chamber (4) where particles of more mass will be pushed away from the central axis and towards the wall due to increased flowrate and swirling action; a collection tank (6) to collect the dropped particles; characterized in that the vane (2) comprises curved surfaces with substantially elliptical pathways (2A) perpendicular the Vertex pipe (3) that enhances the velocity of flow and its swirling action.

A cyclonic chiller-separator, including a vertically oriented treatment tower defining an interior space and having an exhaust inlet disposed in an upper portion, and a chimney with an exhaust outlet; an exhaust stream conduit in fluid communication with said interior volume of said treatment tower through said exhaust inlet, wherein said exhaust inlet is configured to induce cyclonic fluid motion in an exhaust stream entering said interior volume; a coolant water source; and a plurality of nozzles disposed about interior walls of said treatment tower and in fluid communication with said coolant water source for spraying cooling water into said interior volume above and into an exhaust stream introduced into said interior volume so as to cool, condense, and precipitate volatile organic compounds and organic acids, and to entrain and remove particulates from the exhaust stream.
