The inlet and outlet on this indicate that the flow will be in a cyclonic action around the vessel walls. Something similar can be used to separate liquid droplets as well. The vortex formed by the air spinning causes the particals to slow and begin to drop. Really from friction and cintrifugical force.
Most people call this a cyclone, because of the spinning air.
