ME­CHAN­I­CAL AND PNEU­MATIC CEN­TRIFU­GAL AND GRAV­ITY SEP­A­RA­TORS Cen­trifu­gal and grav­ity sep­a­ra­tors com­prise all me­chan­i­cal sep­a­ra­tors used for the sim­ple re­moval of dust and pre-sep­a­ra­tion of par­ti­cles from the ex­haust gases cre­ated by com­bus­tion processes. The gas, laden with solids, flows tan­gen­tially through the in­let into the cy­clone, and cre­ates a ro­tat­ing and sink­ing flow in the sep­a­ra­tion cham­ber. The cen­trifu­gal force acts on the par­ti­cles and an op­pos­ing re­sist­ing force acts be­tween the gas and solids. This re­sist­ing force means that small par­ti­cles are car­ried along with the stream and move in­wards to the out­let tube and clean-gas side. Large par­ti­cles are ac­cel­er­ated out­wards against the cas­ing due to the strong cen­trifu­gal force, where they are col­lected by the bound­ary layer flow and dis­charged to­wards the down­pipe in a solid stream. Ap­pli­ca­tion-spe­cific con­cepts to pro­tect against wear are avail­able as op­tions.
