Comparison of technical characteristics of a multi-vortex separator with cyclones of various modifications

RELEVANCE. Cyclone separators are used to separate solid dust particles from the air entering turbine. The key factors in their selection pressure drop and efficiency. Research aimed at improving these indicators while preserving other advantages of cyclones, as well development new gas cleaning devices that not inferior them, relevant. THE PURPOSE. Comparison technical characteristics a multi-vortex separator with cyclones various modifications on efficiency separation dusty medium, Froude criterion Euler criterion. METHODS. It carried research out using modern methods recording parameters laboratory stand. RESULTS. fractional size 1 80 microns stream is higher than cyclone separators: SK-CN-24, CN-11, CN-15, CN-24. An analysis according Fr similarly showed preferable UC-38-250, UC-38-500, UC-38-750, UC-38-850, SCN-40 CN-11-400. We establish an increase Fr, increases. According Eu criterion, it can be established use lower energy costs relative UC body diameter 500 mm or more, CONCLUSION. conducted studies show considered replacement for cyclic turbine installations. Advantages – simplicity design, absence friction vortices walls separator, low value close 100% when capturing over 6 μ m.
