Abstract
A gas separating device includes a body defining a cylindrical inner chamber having a first and second ends; an intake and agitation fan disposed at the first end and drawing external gas into the inner chamber and agitates the external gas to form a first vortex traveling towards the second end; a hot gas stream discharge port located at or adjacent to an edge of the second end to discharge a part of gas of the first vortex; a vortex return device located at the second end to return the remaining gas of the first vortex not discharged from the hot gas stream discharge port, forming a second vortex traveling towards the first end through a cyclone core of the first vortex; and a cold gas stream discharge port located at a radial center of the first end or located adjacent to and around the radial center.
