Abstract

A hybrid cyclone mist collection device having a housing containing an inlet, an outlet and a cyclone body forming a wall extending about a vertical axis. The inlet brings mist-laden air through an airflow straightening area into the cyclone body in a tangential manner, creating a spiral flow path within the cyclone body. Mist-laden air entering the spiral flow path then moves downwardly through the cyclone body causing mist particles to collect on the wall of the cyclone body and then move downward due to the downward spiral airflow and gravity. At the bottom of the cyclone body the collected liquid enters an annular drain channel located beneath a vortex deflector plate and an annular shed sheet. A drain connected to the drain channel continuously removes the collected liquid from the housing and returns it to the machine tool station for reuse. The de-misted air exits the outlet and moves on to a central filter housing for final treatment.
