CYCLONE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: purification of compressed gas from moisture, oil and mechanical impurities. SUBSTANCE: cyclone body has upper shell with tangential input and lower shell of bigger diameter joined to each other by outer spherical wall. Axial pipe has inner spherical wall on its lower end, that is equidistant to outer one. Lower edge of inner wall is connected to separating extension made in the form of lower half of tote, generatrix radius of which is 2 - 2.4 fold smaller, than radius of inner spherical wall. Extension is connected to axial pipe by its upper outer edge and its lower section has liquid outlet hole. Chamber of swirling is connected to body upper shell. Inner curvilinear surface of chamber of swirling is conjugated with tangential inlet and in place of conjugation it has maximum radius, that 1.2 - 2 fold exceeds radius of body upper shell. Chamber-collector with located in its cavity upper end of axial pipe is located over chamber of swirling and communicates with it by holes made in its bottom. Upper shell of body has diameter, that is 2.5 - 5 fold smaller, than lower shell diameter. EFFECT: improved purification. 2 cl, 4 dwg
