Modification of the cyclone separator geometry for improving the performance using Taguchi and CFD approach

ABSTRACT

The cyclone separator performance has been affected by its high-pressure drop. The main geometric ratios such as outlet diameter, inlet width and inlet height and total height have been preferred to reduce the pressure drop and improve the performance of cyclone separator. These standard geometric values have been altered with the aid of design of experiment technique by Taguchi method for reducing the pressure drop. This changed new design produce low-pressure drop compared with the standard cyclone separator. Moreover, the collection efficiency of the new design is high when compared with standard cyclone separator. The pressure drop, Euler number, cut-off diameter and efficiency of the standard and new cyclone separator have been compared with the results of mathematical and computational fluid dynamics technique (CFD). The Reynolds stress turbulence model and discrete phase model have been used for simulating the cyclone separator in CFD. An acceptable agreement has been obtained between these results.     

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.

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.

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.     

Evaluation of numerical schemes using different simulation methods for the continuous phase modeling of cyclone separators

The steady and unsteady state simulations of Stairmand cyclone separator were carried out to investigate the performance of different interpolation schemes for discretization of pressure gradient and advection terms. The RSM turbulence model was revisited to explore its simulation capability of PVC phenomenon and fluctuating velocity profiles of cyclone separators. The combination of Presto, SO, standard and BFW schemes for discretization of pressure gradient and FOU, power law, SOU, QUICK and MUSCL schemes for discretization of advection terms were studied. The double precision solver of Fluent 6.3.26 and modified RSM turbulence model constants of Jiao et al. (Chem. Eng. Technol. 30 (2007) 15–20) were also verified for simulation of cyclone separators. The predicted mean and fluctuating velocity profiles and pressure drop inside the cyclone separator with steady and unsteady simulations have been compared to experimental results available in literature.The steady state simulation failed to predict velocity profiles and pressure drop inside cyclone separator accurately, whereas the unsteady state simulation predicted velocity profiles, pressure drop and PVC phenomenon close to experimental values. The prediction of fluctuating velocity profile was better than previously reported work in the core region compared to the off core region. The present study revealed that the SOU scheme for discretization of advection terms of momentum, kinetic energy and its dissipation rate equations and the FOU scheme for Reynolds stresses together with the Presto scheme for discretization of pressure gradient with unsteady simulation are the optimum choice for simulation of cyclone separators.     

Performance evaluation of industrial large-scale cyclone separator with novel vortex finder

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on an industrial large-scale tangential-inlet cyclone separator with a novel and easy-to-implement vortex finder. The vortex finder was designed with slots on the side wall to improve cyclone performance. The collection efficiency, pressure drop, and interior flow field were analyzed. The proposed device provides an effective gas flow pathway and a coupled swirl-inertia separation mechanism, which eliminates short circuit flows under the bottom inlet of the slotted vortex finder to reduce the swirling intensity and minimize the flow instability in the separator. The pressure drop was reduced up to 27.9% compared to the conventional separator and the maximal increase in collection efficiency was 5.45%. The results presented here may provide a workable reference regarding the effects of vortex finders on improving flow fields and corresponding performance in industrial large-scale cyclone separators.
