Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An inertial filter is placed in a fluid flow path and equipped with a particle classifying sheet having a plurality of particle classifying holes uniformly arranged. The particle classifying sheet has a sheet area larger than a fluid passage area at a site where the sheet is placed. A part of the sheet is provided in the form of a partition wall dividing the fluid flow path in two sections in a fluid passage direction to allow for classification of particles.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An inertial filter placed in a fluid flow path for passage of a fluid containing nano-sized particles to collect the nano-sized particles in the fluid flow path by an effect of particle inertia, the inertial filter collecting the nano-sized particles having smaller particle sizes as a velocity of flow of the fluid is increased, the inertial filter including: a flow quantity adjusting nozzle located on an upstream side of the fluid flow path and having…
