FLOWSUN offers High Efficiency Cyclones, the most cost-effective solution for separating dry particulate (5 microns or larger) from gas streams. Our experience in research, design, and successful commissioning of cyclones allows us to select the appropriate design to meet the most demanding needs of any application in the industry.
Inertial separators are the simplest type of dust collector. They are normally used to reduce the volume of particles from the mass flow of an air stream or as a pre-separator or pre-filter for collectors handling greater efficiencies. Cyclone dust collectors (named for their vortex motion similar to cyclones and tornados) are large funnel-shaped tubes. Dust and debris are pulled into the tangential inlet at high velocities, forcing material against the walls in a cyclonic motion. Larger particles slide down into the hopper while smaller or fine dust exits out the other side. Further dust separation can be provided downstream with a fabric filter dust collector.
Separation efficiencies depend on the centrifugal force applied upon the dust (particles with larger mass being subject to greater force). Velocity, cyclone curvature profile, and the particulate mass combined with the time that the force is applied against the particles, characterize performance. Cyclones are designed with either large or narrow diameters, depending upon the application. Small diameter cyclones have high dust collection efficiencies at low dust loads (0.1 to 6 grains per cubic foot) and high pressure drop of 6 to 10 inches w.c. Large diameter cyclones can handle high dust loads with low pressure drops efficiently.
