Abstract:

A particle separator for removing particles from a gaseous stream, the particle separator having a separator body having a centerline axis and a peripheral wall defining a separation chamber, a fluid inlet in fluid communication with the separation chamber, a particle outlet in fluid communication with the separation chamber, a fluid outlet in fluid communication with the separation chamber, and a plurality of angled inlet apertures fluidly coupled between the fluid inlet and the separation chamber. A particulate separation system for removing particles from a gaseous stream, the particulate filtration system having an inlet, an outlet, and a plurality of particle separators located between and in fluid communication with, the inlet and the outlet, wherein each of the plurality of particle separators receives less than about 5 percent by volume of the flow of the gaseous stream entering the inlet.
