A New Calculation Method of the Axial and Radial Velocity and Grade—Efficiency for High—Efficiency Cyclones

A new calculation method of the axial and radial velocity and grade—efficiency for high—efficiency cyclones

At present in China, the cyclones are widely used in the dust removal ventilation system of boilers, industry furnaces or pits etc., because of their simple structure, long life and cost efficiency. In order to improve efficiency of the cyclones, new theoretical calculation method is very important. In this paper, the concept of down-flow quantity is introduced and new formula is deducted based on Kilven law and the work has done by Zhao Weizhong^[1]. The formula is not only of advantage theoretically but also fit with experimental results quite well. On the basis, the effect of three-dimensional velocity distribution in the flow field within cyclones and other parameters on the grade-efficiency calculation are analyzed and a new equation for grade-efficiency estimation is introduced. The calculating accuracy of the equation is better than the others theoretically and experimentally.
