Abstract: The particulate collector assembly 10 removes solid particulates from a gas stream. The assembly 10 includes an outer housing 12, an intermediate housing 40, and interior housing 54 to form therebetween a clean gas chamber t14, a particulate-laden gas chamber 41, and a particulate chamber. A plurality or cyclone separator units 62 cooperate with the chambers to remove particulates from the gas stream. Each separator unit is fixedly secured to the intermediate housing and extends radially inward through the inner housing 54. A plurality of cyclone supports 82 are secured to a radially inward end of the cyclone housings and are also secured to a center support pipe 90 within the particulate chamber. This arrangement forms a wagon wheel-like structure which provides the desired rigidity to prevent sagging of the cyclone separator units yet allows the assembly components to expand freely and uniformly to minimize stresses to avoid distortions when exposed to high operating temperatures.

Abstract: A particulate separation device having a particulate outlet structure for transporting particulate from a particulate-laden gas chamber to a main housing particulate outlet so as not to pass through individual cyclone separator units in said separation device.

Abstract: A multi-cyclone particulate separation device having a particulate-laden gas structure and a clean gas structure mounted longitudinally within a main housing chamber. A particulate transfer means is mounted at the bottom of the particulate-laden gas structure to transfer particulate from the particulate-laden gas structure outwardly of the main vessel housing prior to separation by the cyclone separators. Mount means for the high-temperature, high-pressure environment are disclosed.

Abstract: A device for the filtration of particulate from a particulate laden gas, including a housing containing a circumferential, vertically stacked arrangement of separator units and transfer structure to transfer the particulate laden gas, the clean gas and the separated particulate between the housing inlets and outlets.
