Abstract:
1. A cyclone separator for separating liquid and/or solid particles from a gas stream, the cyclone separator comprising: individual cyclones each comprising at least one particle discharge positioned perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the cyclone separator and adapted to discharge separated particles that have been separated from the gas stream in the individual cyclones from the cyclone separator, wherein at least one discharge direction of the separated particle is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cyclone separator and is oriented in a direction toward the at least one particle discharge; wherein the individual cyclones include at least four individual cyclones that are arranged such that a connecting line, connecting of said four individual cyclones those individual cyclones that are neighboring each other at a minimal spacing, respectively, forms a diamond, wherein sides of the diamond each are positioned at an angle of 30 degrees to 60 degrees relative to the at least one discharge direction; wherein the individual cyclones include at least one individual cyclone provided with a particle guiding element; wherein the particle guiding element is adapted to guide the separated particles that have been separated above the particle guiding element in the at least one discharge direction across the particle guiding element in a direction toward the cyclone separator particle discharge; wherein the individual cyclones have an outer contour; wherein the particle guiding element is arranged on the outer contour of its respective individual cyclone, the particle guiding element extending over a portion of the outer contour area that is facing away from the cyclone separator particle discharge; wherein the particle guiding element comprises
