Abstract
Abstract A filtering separator for cleaning dust and smoke-particle-laden gases comprising a separator, a duct connected to the gas inlet of the separator and containing dust collector bodies around which the dirty gas flows, means for detaching particles which collect on and between said bodies, said detaching means affording at least intermittent application of vibration force, and means for feeding at least some of said particles to said separator along with the dirty gas.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
In a filter assembly comprising a housing having a perforated wall separating a dirty gas chamber with a raw gas inlet at the end of a raw gas duct and a clean gas chamber with a clean gas outlet, said dirty gas chamber containing filter elements exposed to the stream of raw inlet gases and adapted to be cleaned periodically by counter-current scavenging from the clean gas side, the improvement that there is interposed in the raw gas duct, upstream of the filter elements, at least one perforated drum containing individual dust collector bodies forming a dust collector in the path of the raw gas, and motion imparting means enabling the bodies in said drum to be placed in motion to cause said bodies to move about and rub against one another to free dust agglomerations thereon to be fed into the raw gas stream moving to the filter elements.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
Filter assembly according to claim 1 wherein the bodies are in the shape of spheres or rings with a diameter from five to approximately thirty mm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
95 words
Filter assembly according to claim 1 further comprising two of said perforated drums containing the bodies, and said drums are arranged in series in the raw gas duct, means positioned and arrange with respect to the first or upstream drum for feeding cooling water thereto, and wherein a bypass line for the raw gas is connected at one end to an outlet in the raw gas duct on the upstream side of the first drum and the opposite end is connected to an inlet in the raw gas duct immediately upstream of the second drum.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
64 words
Filter-assembly according to claim 1 wherein the perforated drum has positioned and arranged with respect to it an inlet opening and thereon a feeder for the infeed of dust to provide nuclei for agglomeration on the bodies of the fine dust particles of the raw gases or the infeed of additives to bind harmful gases or to neutralize acids contained in the raw gases.
