Abstract

An inertial vortex particle scrubber includes a housing having an inlet guide, twin vortex chambers and an outlet. A particle-laden air stream is accelerated as it passes through the inlet guide into the twin vortex chambers where particles are displaced by centrifugal forces toward a wall of the twin vortex chambers. A relatively particle-free air stream is then discharged from the outlet.
