Air cleaning device which uses a combination of centrifugal and gravitational forces to separate particles out of an air stream. Contaminated air is introduced tangentially so that solids are thrown outwards against the walls of the cyclone and fall to the bottom under gravity. Irrigated and multi versions exist.

(Learning Modules / Geography / Weather forecasting) A circulating storm around a low pressure centre. The term cyclone is usually restricted to tropical storm systems (temperate ones are called 'depressions'). A cyclone with wind speeds in excess of 120 kph is a hurricane in the Atlantic, a typhoon in the western Pacific or a tropical cyclone in the Indian Ocean.

1.a low-pressure area, around which wind flow is counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The term is sometimes used to describe storms occurring in the atmosphere; in the Indian Ocean it is used to designate a tropical cyclone. 2. a device for the separation of various particles from a drilling fluid, most commonly used as a desander. The fluid is pumped tangentially into a cone, and the fluid rotation provides enough centrifugal force to separate particles by mass weight. ...
