The fluid entrained particle separator includes an inlet passage for directing particles entrained in a fluid, a first separation passage branching from the inlet passage, a second separation passage branching from the inlet passage, and directing particles to the first separation passage or second separation passage. and electrodes for generating an electric field for applying a dielectrophoretic force on the particles to cause the first separation passageway, the second separation passageway, the electric field and the dielectrophoretic force to extend in one plane. |
