Control of Collection Efficiency for Axial Flow Cyclone Dust Collectors with Fixed Guide Vanes and with Funnel Shaped Exit Pipes

The experimental result of the collection efficiency of the axial flow cyclone with the fixed guide vanes is lowerthan that with the tangential inlet pipe to the cyclone body due to the weak angular momentum transfer given byflowing through the guide vanes.However,one of the interesting points is the control of the collection efficiencydepended on the funnel shaped exit pipes.The collection efficiencies for these funnel shaped exit pipes aredepended on the Froude number.Then,in this paper,the experimental results of the pressure drop and also thecollection efficiency using the fly-ash particles and also the comparison of the calculated results of the collectionefficiency with the experimental results are described in detail.

The experimental result of the collection efficiency of the axial flow cyclone with the fixed guide vanes is lower than that with the tangential inlet pipe to the cyclone body due to the weak angular momentum transfer given by flowing through the guide vanes.However,one of the interesting points is the control of the collection efficiency depended on the funnel shaped exit pipes.The collection efficiencies for these funnel shaped exit pipes are depended on the Froude number.Then,in this paper,the experimental results of the pressure drop and also the collection efficiency using the fly-ash particles and also the comparison of the calculated results of the collection efficiency with the experimental results are described in detail.
