    Can you explain more about "the vortex effect", i don't understand why when the gas goes down, the flow would go back up to the acceptance port above? Do all the clean gas in the cyclone flow like that or there is a little of them go through the reject discharge part? Thank you.

    Another design consideration is the to make sure the ACCEPT discharge has a lower pressure than the inlet pressure so the particle follow a path of least resistance.

    Great video. thanks for the insight. Question for you if the gas velocity on the suction side changes velocity (line in the use of an engine crankcase blowby gases increase with RPM), will that have an effect of separation? In other words does the cyclone separator have an effective range, and can it get overloaded?

    I downloaded this: www.maths-in-industry.org/miis/328/1/minimum-particle-size-for-cyclone-dust-separator.pdf It seems you cannot separate soot particles from a gas stream. I think its correct, the particles are way too small and I have never heard of this sort of setup. I know that coal fired power stations use an electrostatic precipitator (its a mouthful...). I searched for an ESP for gasifiers and got the below info: Syngas conditioning chain: A. Cyclone separator B. Wet scrubber C. Electrostatic precipitator This makes more sense, use a cyclone and then a wet scrubber with ESP. I am not a gasification expert! :) So, dont take it as gospel, I am just applying what I know from other industries. Here is the link where I got the above info: www.ieatask33.org/app/webroot/files/file/2014/WS/Fantacci.pdf Hope that helps, Jon

    Hello, is this state ment correct: Air under high pressure is blown through thr pulverised ore. The lighter gangue is blown away through the top, while the denser mineral rich particles hit the Wall by centrifugal force and fall down the funnel. Or .......is blown away through the top by centrifugal force, while the denser mineral rich particles hit wall and fall down the funnel.

  • @3dknowledge

    @3dknowledge

    6 жыл бұрын

    Centrifugal force is one of the forces acting upon the incoming particles (drag is another), but I would think the word 'vortex' is more appropriate. If you want to know more about centrifugal force, look for 'alfa laval separator', or 'centrifuge' or 'clarifier'. Also check 'vortex separation'. To answer your question, the lighter particles leave through the middle in an upwards direction whilst the heavier particles exit through the bottom. The heavier particles impacting with the side of the cyclone effectively removes them from the process stream Does that help?

    Would this work very well to remove water from the air at the inlet of an air compressor, and again possibly, on the outlet? Less water in the tank and less water in the compressed air as well.

  • @3dknowledge

    @3dknowledge

    6 жыл бұрын

    +Ron Floyd If it's for a compressor, normally a refrigeration type drier or desiccant type dryer is used. Silica gel cartridges are good for removing moisture from air, but I think activated alumni is normally used. Larger compressors have drier on the section side and normally separate driers installed after compression. Atlas Copco and Kaeser are big comp air manufacturers, check out their websites. Hope that helps.

  • @3dknowledge

    @3dknowledge

    6 жыл бұрын

    +Ron Floyd Side note: the compressor can form droplets of moisture due to the compression of air and the moisture it holds. The more moisture the air has, the more droplets (condensate) appears. You don't want water in the compressor or downstream as it will corrode parts. So you are right to want to dry the air. Condensate often corrodes the base of air receivers if the air is not dried and can cause valves to stick.

    If you have water at the inlet of your compressor.... Move your compressor immediately! As for the outlet yes cyclone can remove WATER but not vapor, the problem is the heat of compression and the multiplication of moisture content. When the compressed air leaves your compressor it will be between 180 degrees Fahrenheit and 350 degrees Fahrenheit depending on what type of compressor you have and what discharge pressure is. If you have an oil flooded rotary screw compressor the temp will be 180-200 then it will go through an after cooler. It should leave the aftercooler at 100 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, but this air is completely saturated with moisture(relative humidity is 100%). Whatever temperature it is that is your new dewpoint, if the cools even 1 degree it will condense in to liquid and now your air is still completely saturated (relative humidity 100%) just one degree cooler. Rinse repeat. OR you can dry the air. Using a refrigerated dryer cools the air to a much cooler temperature and then drains the condensate generated. Whatever temperature it cools the air to is your new dewpoint, if the air remains above this temperature it will not condense, if it drops below that temperature it will condense into liquid. Obviously refrigerated dryers will not give you a dewpoint lower than 32 degrees Fahrenheit because at that point the moisture would condense and freeze. For dewpoints below 32 deg F you need chemical reaction such as the activated alumina which can aDsorb (not aBsorb) the moisture to dewpoints as low as -100 deg F if the proper regenerating methods and controls are used. Side note many modern oil flooded rotary screw compressors use cyclonic separation to separate the oil from the air.
