Adhesion of particles in secondary air flow

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the influence of secondary air flow on adhesion and precipitation processes of particles in the cyclone separator. It is shown that secondary air flow causes fine (about 1 μm in diameter) particles to collide with one another more often. Results showed, that separation efficiency of fine particles of cyclone separator with secondary air flow can reach 99,93 % which is much higher than that of conventional cyclones.
