A dust cup assembly (100) and a handheld cleaner (1000) having the same are provided. The dust cup assembly (100) includes: a cup casing (1); a device housing (2) configured as a tube shape and disposed in the cup casing (1), wherein an outer end face of the device housing (2) at an axial side thereof abuts against or extends beyond a partial inner surface of the cup casing (1), and a dust removal chamber (A1) is defined between an inner surface of the cup casing (1) and an outer peripheral surface of the device housing (2) and surrounds the device housing (2) along a circumferential direction of the device housing (2); and a negative pressure device (3) located within the device housing (2) and enabling dusty air to enter the dust removal chamber (A1) for dust and air separation.

Disclosed is a hydrocyclone monitoring system. The hydrocyclone monitoring system comprises a hydrocyclone comprising a separation chamber having an inlet for feeding an input mixture into the separation chamber and first and second outlets for ejecting flows of 5 respective first and second components of the mixture from the separation chamber. The hydrocyclone monitoring system further comprises a conduit and a sensor assembly. The conduit is connected to the first outlet and defines a channel for conducting the flow of the first component ejected from the separation chamber. The sensor assembly is configured to detect characteristics of the flow of the first component in the channel. The hydrocyclone 10 monitoring system further comprises a processing system configured to receive from the sensor assembly measurement data indicative of the characteristics of the flow of the first component, and to determine a mode of operation of the hydrocyclone based on the measurement data. Also disclosed is a method of monitoring a hydrocyclone.

A cyclone separator useable in a surface cleaning apparatus comprises a cyclone chamber and a dirt collection chamber exterior to, and surrounding at least a portion of the cyclone chamber. The dirt collection chamber is in communication with the cyclone chamber via a dirt outlet. An air flow passage extending to the cyclone air inlet travels generally axially through the dirt collection chamber.

The invention relates to a vortex degassing device (1) for a fluid transfer circuit (F1, F2), in particular of a motor vehicle, this device (1) comprising: a first internal chamber (10) connected to a first inlet (11) for a fluid (F1) as well as to a first outlet (12) for a liquid fraction and to a second outlet (13) for a gaseous fraction, a second internal chamber (20) connected to a second inlet (21) for a fluid (F2) as well as to a third outlet (22) for a liquid fraction and to a fourth outlet (23) for a gaseous fraction,
the second chamber (20) being located above the first chamber (10) and the second outlet (13) extending through the second chamber (20) to the level of the fourth outlet (23). The invention also relates to a fluid transfer circuit comprising at least one such device (1) as well as a method for using such a device (1).

A surface cleaning apparatus has a cyclone chamber having a longitudinal cyclone axis of rotation wherein the dirt outlet is defined by a gap between the sidewall of the cyclone and a plate positioned at the dirt outlet end of the cyclone.

A vacuum unit includes a debris tank receiving wet or dry waste. A multi-cyclone separator is coupled to an outlet of the debris tank. The multi-cyclone separator receives the wet or dry waste from the debris tank and the multi-cyclone separator includes a plurality of cyclones. A filter is coupled to the outlet of the multi-cyclone separator and receives exhaust airflow from the multi-cyclone which then flows onto the blower or fan and is vented external to the vacuum unit.
