Abstract:

A particle-containing air stream is passed downwardly through an orifice into a housing and toward an upwardly facing target area in the housing while directing a flow of liquid upwardly through said target area and thence outwardly in generally horizontal paths extending in opposite directions along said area and along extensions of said area, whereby particles from the air stream are entrained in the liquid flows in said opposite directions. Particle-laden liquid is discharged through bottom outlets of the chamber at the outer ends of said horizontal liquid paths, while passing divided streams with remaining particles upwardly from the respective horizontal liquid paths and into respective chambers where particles are separated by a cyclonic action from the air streams before they discharge from the chambers.
