Patent ID: 8889014

Claim:
A method of assembling multiple hydrocyclones, wherein multiple hydrocyclones each have a base end and an apex end, at least an inlet chamber for fluid to be cleaned positioned at the base end, at least an overflow chamber for an overflow portion of the fluid, and a separation chamber having an elongated shape between the base end and the apex end and at least an underflow outlet at the apex end, the overflow chamber being positioned at the apex end, the inlet chamber having at least two side openings positioned on opposite sides of the inlet chamber, the hydrocyclones being arranged at a support structure for support of the hydrocyclones, the support structure including a support bar, and a pressing bar attached to the support bar for pressing the hydrocyclones against each other, the method comprising the steps of: arranging the hydrocyclones side by side adjacent and along the support bar with respective inlet chamber side openings being adjacent each other thus forming an inlet pipe by means of the inlet chambers, the respective inlet chambers forming the inlet pipe being adapted to be pressed against each other, and then using the pressing bar to press the hydrocyclones together.
