(57) A device for separating particles from a fluid comprises a number of separation units.
Each separation unit comprises a number of elongate cyclones (7) which are arranged
parallel to and next to one another. Each cyclone is provided with a feed (14e), an
overflow discharge (40) and an underflow discharge (41). Each separation unit furthermore
comprises a first chamber (21), into which the overflow discharges of the cyclones
open out, a second chamber (20), in which the cyclones are arranged, which second
chamber contains the feeds of the cyclones, and a third chamber (22), into which the
underflow discharges of the cyclones open out. The chambers are substantially cylindrical
and are stacked as seen in the longitudinal direction of the cyclones. The separation
units are also stacked as seen in the longitudinal direction of the cyclones. |
