Cyclone separator performance
Cyclone separator performance
(OP)
Hi,
Could anybody explain whether there the pressure drop would vary depending on the dust accumulated near the bottom in case the dust removal is not fast enough.
Is it possible to monitor the separation efficiency using a differential pressure instrument.
Thanks

For monitoring efiiciency, the cyclone manufacturer should have specification on expected pressure drops at various air volumes across the particular cyclone. Install a magnehelic or photohelic pressure gauge across inlet/air outlet to monitor the desired pressure drop at highest efficiency.
