Abstract
A baffle (34) configurable in a cyclone separator (10) in order to improve the flow capacity, efficiency, and effectiveness of the separator (10). The baffle (34) is disposed for vertical insertion through an upper wall (18) of the separation chamber (12) of the separator (10) to effect variable occlusion of an annular space (38) defined between a cylindrical wall (14) of the separation chamber (12) and a vortex finder (26) positioned generally centrally within the separation chamber (12). The baffle (34) functions to decrease pressure drop between an inlet (16) to the separator (10) and an outlet (32) from the separator (10).
