Outline of this blog post Introduction Comparison of Standard and Oversized cyclone performances (calculations by Airvate) Recommended applications of oversized cyclone Summary and conclusions Introduction Cyclone separators are widely used in many industrial applications where it is necessary to remove the dust or particles from gasses. These devices are simple with no moving parts and are easy to maintain. Although the construction of these devices is simple, the physics governing the flow process in them is complex. Normally cyclone designers follow two procedures to size a cyclone. Classical Cyclone Design process, and Texas A&M Cyclone Design method The results from these procedures are usually called standard cyclones, while an oversized cyclone is the one from the same family but with a bigger body diameter and, consequently, with a lower inlet velocity at the same air flowrate. Normally, an oversized cyclone can have a lower pressure loss at t...
