Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This swirl flow generator is used to purify air by removing foreign matters such as liquid droplets and dusts contained in the air. A cylindrical blade portion ( 34 ) is arranged in a swirl flow generating chamber ( 24 ) through which the air flows in the axial direction, and the air flowed in the axial direction along the blades ( 35 ) is radially jetted toward inside of the cylindrical blade portion ( 34 ) to form swirl flow. The air supplied into the swirl flow generating chamber ( 24 ) in the axial direction is guided by the closing lid portion ( 38 ) toward the inflow-side end surface of the cylindrical blade portion ( 34 ). The air flow downward from the outside of the cylindrical blade portion ( 34 ) is prevented by the annular base portion ( 33 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A swirl flow generator for removing foreign matters contained in air to purify the air, comprising: a cylindrical blade portion which is formed by arranging a plurality of blades in a cylindrical shape so as to extend in an axial direction from an axially-upper side toward an axially-lower side along an inner peripheral surface of a swirl flow generating chamber through which the air flows in the axial direction and so as to tilt in a circumference direction…
