Abstract: A cyclone separator (10) comprises a pressure chamber (20), an inlet (30) for an incoming flow of a mixture of gas and particles, a gas outlet (50) for outgoing gas arranged through a top wall (26) of the pressure chamber and a particle outlet (40) for outgoing particles arranged in a lower part (22) of the pressure chamber. The pressure chamber has a main rotation symmetric shape. The inlet is arranged through a side wall (28) of an upper part (24) of the pressure chamber for directing the incoming flow with a main velocity component in a tangential direction. The inlet comprises an inlet tube (36) protruding through the side wall of the upper part into the pressure chamber, whereby an inner end (38) of the inlet tube is provided at a position interior of the pressure chamber. A method for operating a cyclone separator is also disclosed.
