Abstract

A device for recovering cleaning particles from a liquid stream after it has traversed a heat exchanger, comprises a pivotable inclined sieve and a baffle plate upstream of an outlet and the lower edge of the sieve for generating between the plate and the sieve a vortical flow which induces the particles to flow downwardly along the sieve to the outlet.
