HIGH EFFECIENCY CYCLONE

A cyclone is a structure without moving parts that has the inlet velocity of a gas stream transformed into a confined vortex or spiral flow downward between the walls of the gas discharge outlet and the body of the cyclone, or main vortex, where centrifugal force is created, which tends to drive particles to the wall of the cyclone. The industries generate and emit dust emissions from various processes, either in the form of fugitive or channelized emissions. These dust particles are either coarser or finer in nature. The coarser particles can easily be controlled by cyclones of standard design, but fine dust particles are required to be controlled by high-efficiency cyclones. An effort has been made in the present paper for the integrated design of cyclones and multi-cones, which may be employed in the field to arrest dust emissions from industries. Cyclone inlet design is of critical importance to both efficiency and pressure drop. Tangential inlets are Standard type
