A new structure of a combined dust collector, in the unified 
energy field of which suspended particles are separated in interacting 
swirling flows, with subsequent aftercleaning of the gas by filtration 
has been developed. The hydraulic resistance of the combined dust 
collector has been investigated. The change in the pressure loss as 
a function of the total rate of flow of the gas in the apparatus and 
the flow-rate ratio has been determined. The dependence for calculation 
of the hydraulic resistance of this dust collector has been obtained.
