Abstract:
A vacuum filtration and collection system operates in a single mode to remove both wet and dry debris from an air stream. The system includes a rectangular material holding receptacle, including a central main compartment surrounded by a cyclone separator compartment on one side and a bag filter compartment on the other side. The cyclone separators, which receive flows from the main compartment, have a tapered inlet plenum associated therewith. The air stream will flow from the cyclone separators through a tranverse duct to a bag inlet chute having an outlet below the bottom of the bag filters. The transverse duct is connected to the cyclone outlet plenum on at least opposite sides of an immediately adjacent cyclone separator.
