The described embodiments of the present invention include a cyclonic filter
having an inlet and outlet. The cyclonic filter includes a chamber in communication
with the inlet, flow from the inlet being directed in a rotational flow about an
axis within the chamber. The cyclonic filter also includes a first baffle element
positioned in the chamber, the first baffle element having at least one inlet.
The cyclonic filter further includes a second baffle element positioned within
the first baffle element, the second baffle element having at least one outlet,
the at least one outlet of the second baffle element being positioned relative
to the at least one inlet of the first baffle element in a direction opposite to
the rotational flow, the interior of the second baffle element being in communication
with the outlet.
