Definitions

  • This invention relates to centrifugal separators of the type employing a plurality of tubular separators mounted within a single casing for parallel-flow operation, e.g., for removing catalyst particles from hydrocarbon vapors or from combustion products. More particularly, this invention relates to an improved supporting vessel for this type of centrifugal separator which can withstand high temperature and high pressure operations.
  • the instant apparatus for cleaning gases includes an outer pressure-retaining vessel completely enclosing an inner casing internally suspended Within the outer vessel.
  • the inner casing performs substantially the same function as the single casing of the prior art arrangements, being divided into operational chambers, e.g., a gas inlet chamber and a clean gas outlet chamber, and supporting a plurality of individual centrifugal separators.
  • This inner casing is arranged within the outer vessel in such a way that an annular space exists therebetween.
  • Forming a portion of the connecting means between the casing and outer vessel is an expansion joint which, in conjunction with the annular space between the casing and vessel, permits ex pausion and contraction of the inner casing both vertically and horizontally during high temperature and high pres- 3,415,042 Patented Dec. 10, 1968 sure operations without damaging the outer pressure retaining vessel.
