Development of a post cyclone to improve the efficiency of reverse flow cyclones

Operating properties of non-woven fabric panel filters for internal combustion engine inlet air in single and two-stage filtration systems

“…Depending on the flow conditions of the aerosol inside the cyclone, clean air (cyclone outlet air) contains dust particles <(15÷30) µm. It is both referenced in the literature [1,16,17,22] and result from the single cyclone tests carried out by the authors. The filter element in serial configuration downstream of the multi-cyclone is affected by smaller dust particles.…”

Evaluation of cyclone geometry and its influence on performance parameters by computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

“…Since its conception over a century ago, many researchers have contributed to the large volume of work on improving the efficiency of cyclones by introducing new design and operation variables (Jo et al, 2000). However, in most cases, the improvement in efficiency is marginal and in some cases it is associated with complex structure and additional operating costs (Gregg, 1995).…”

Modelling of the Pressure Drop in Tangential Inlet Cyclone Separators

“…The most popular cyclone designs are based on the studies of Stairmand (1951), Lapple (1951), Upton et al (1994), and Kim and Lee (1990). To improve cyclone performance, a number of modifications and auxiliary devices have also been proposed and investigated experimentally or empirically (see for example, Grane et al 1992;Ioza and Leith 1990;Saltzman and Hochstrasser 1983;Jo et al 2000;Yoshida et al 2001).…”
