  • DYNAMIC CYCLONE SEPARATOR, WITH AN AXIAL FLOW AND HAVING A VARIABLE CONFIGURATION
    Publication number: 20130318933
    Abstract: Dynamic cyclone separator, with an axial flow, having a variable configuration and tubular structure (1) comprising: vortex-generating means (2) having a variable configuration, consisting of a central support (3) and a plurality of axial fins (4) having an adjustable tilt; a central support (3) having an ogival configuration which is such as to define with the outer tubular structure (1) a convergent-divergent duct in which the gas expands adiabatically; a tubular porous wall (1b) in the area of maximum velocity for capturing the particulate.
