Gas-solid separation performance and structure optimization in 3D printed guide vane cyclone separator

Low separation efficiency and large pressure drop are two common problems of cyclones. In this paper, a 3D printed guide vane cyclone separator was designed to study the separation efficiency, turbulent kinetic energy, and particle movement of particle group by experiment and simulation. The results shown that the tangential velocity was the major influence of separating. The bottom of the exhaust pipe was the main region of gas–solid separation and pressure drop. The separation efficiency and pressure drop were positively correlated with the inlet velocity and the particle radius of the fluid. The distribution of turbulent kinetic energy that leaded to the pressure drop loss was concentrated on the inlet of the exhaust pipe. The swirl has external and internal two directions. The optimized cyclone has a longer and narrower blade flow path to obtain higher separation efficiency, especially at low inlet velocity.     

Effects of helical fins on the performance of a cyclone separator: A numerical study

This study aimed to investigate the separation performance of a cyclone separator after reshaping its cylindrical body by installing the helical triangular fins. A numerical simulation based on Fluent was adopted to perform an orthogonal test to optimise the structure of the cyclone separator with helical triangular fins. Three structural parameters of the helical triangular fins were selected as optimisation variables: base width, fin size, and fin pitch, and their influences on the evaluation indices of the cut-off diameter were investigated. The optimal combination scheme was determined by range analysis, and the cyclone separator performances before and after optimisation were compared and analysed. The significant influence of the structural parameters on the cut-off diameter was in descending order as the fin pitch, fin size, and base width. For particles with diameter of 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 μm, the separation efficiency of the cyclone separator with optimized helical triangular fins increased by 7.4 %, 15.9 %, 20.1 %, 10.9 % and 14.8 % respectively. Moreover, the cut-off diameter of the finned cyclone separator is reduced by 30.7 %, while the pressure drop is only increased by 6.6 %. The short circuit flow and back-mixing were alleviated, thereby considerably enhancing the stability of the flow field. Therefore, the finned cyclone separator was found to play a critical role in increasing the separation of fine particulate matter.     

The Study of Performance in a Novel Gas–Solid Separator

The three slit-type separator is a new separator which can shorten the residence time of oil & gas and improve the separation efficiency. In this study, a critical validation was carried out to examine the separation performances of the three slit-type separator with different inlet velocity and inlet concentration. According to the experimental results, the separation efficiency and pressure drop of the three slit-type separator increase with the increase of inlet velocity and inlet concentration. Numerical simulation of the gas–solid flow field in the three slit-type separator was carried out by the use of Fluent 15.0 platform. The simulated results coincide with the experimental results. The particles move along the inside wall of the separator in the vaulted space, meanwhile, more gas enters into the exhaust pipe through slots, which can improve the separation efficiency. The study shows that the residence time of oil and gas is less than 0.6 and the separation efficiency is up to 99% in the separator, in addition, the pressure drop could be controlled in 4 kPa below.     

Triboelectric separation of a starch-protein mixture – Impact of electric field strength and flow rate

Triboelectric separation is a method for separating dry particulate systems due to their different electrostatic chargeability. Previous applications are limited to the separation of coarse powders. The aim of the present study is to examine the influence of the flow conditions and the influence of the electric field strength on the separation efficiency of starch and protein particles. Very fine organic powders are separated in a simple bench scale electrostatic separator to extend this technique to powders below 50?µm. The influence of different gas flow rates in the turbulent flow regime on particle charging and subsequent separation is investigated.As an organic model substrate, a mixture of barley starch and whey protein was used. The tribocharger consists of a PTFE charging tube and a rectangular separation chamber where an electric field is applied between two electrodes. The particles are conveyed through the charging tube and charged by frictional contact with the tube wall. It is shown that different gas flow rates at a turbulent flow regime in the charging tube did not change the separation characteristics. In contrast, increasing electrical field strength increases separation efficiency of protein particles regardless of gas flow conditions. The proportion of starch at the anode is the same for all the investigated parameters.     

Numerical study on the performance of swirl tube based on orthogonal design

Here, an axial flow cyclone separator is design is proposed. The effects of varying the structural parameters and operating conditions on pressure drops and separation efficiency were investigated via a numerical simulation approach. The results show that of the three structural parameters considered, the distance between the diffuser and blade is the most significant factor impacting separation performance compared to the blade pitch and blade shaft diameter. Increasing the distance between conical outlet and blade can decrease its pressure drops and increase separation efficiency; while increasing the shaft diameter can increase pressure drops, and the increasing blade pitch can decrease both the pressure drop and the separation efficiency. The pressure drop of the optimized swirl tube was 102.1 Pa, with a corresponding separation efficiency of 95.04% for 100 μm particles at an extraction ratio of 10%. Further, the cut-off particle size can reach 3 μm, demonstrating that the swirl tube offers good separation performance and has the potential to be widely applied in industrial gas–solid separation applications.     

Experimental study on the separation performance of a novel gas–liquid separator

A novel two-stage dynamic separator called high-gravity cyclone separator (HGCS) has been designed for gas–liquid separation. It is mainly composed of a cyclone chamber and rotary drum. In this study, its performance, including the separation efficiency and pressure drop, is experimentally investigated, and the effects of the operating conditions and drum parameters are evaluated. For droplets with a mean diameter of 7 μm, the results indicate that the optimal gas inlet velocity and high-gravity factor are 12 m/s and 59.4, respectively, and the separation efficiency reaches 98 %. The effect of liquid concentration is sensitive to the high-gravity factor. At a liquid concentration of 57 g/m³, the maximum efficiency will be 98.75 % when increasing the high-gravity factor to 85.6. Furthermore, a smaller radial height is preferable when the gas inlet velocity is greater than 12 m/s, and a better separation efficiency can be obtained by increasing the drum length to 190 mm. However, when the length is 235 mm, the efficiency will be poor because of the Kelvin–Helmholtz and Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities. Compared with the predominant roles of gas inlet velocity, drum length and radial height in pressure drop, the effects of liquid concentration and high-gravity factor are small.

Investigation on separation performance and structural optimization of a two-stage series cyclone using CPFD and RSM

Cyclones are generally operated in series when the efficiency of a single cyclone is not sufficient for the process. This study firstly used computational particle fluid dynamics (CPFD) to simulate the gas-solid two-phase flow characteristics in a two-stage series cyclone separator. The separation efficiency and distribution of energy consumption was interpreted by analyzing particle distribution characteristics. Secondly, the structure of the two-stage cyclone separator was optimized via response surface methodology (RSM) to make up for the disadvantage that the distribution of the separation load was non-uniform. The results showed that the grade efficiency for 3 μm of the first-stage cyclone separator was increased from 45.408% to 59.932% compared to the original model. The pressure drop of the first-stage cyclone separator is about 2.147 kPa while the second-stage cyclone separator is about 2.774 kPa. It can be seen that the overall optimized two-stage cyclone separator has the advantages of high efficiency, low energy consumption and load-balanced separation performance.
