Cleaning centrifugal

The separation takes place in the centrifugal field of so alled hydrocyclones (Fig. 4.24) that is generated by the velocity of the entering suspension. Here the heavy particles are forced to the outer wall (HW cleaners) whereas the fight ones are driven to the center (LW cleaners). The flow streams where the heavy or fight particles are accumulated are separated from the cleaned stock stream. The flow in a hydrocyclone is a three-dimensional two-phase flow. The circumferential component generates the centrifugal force, the axial component moves the solid particles towards the cleaner outlet and the radial component of the suspension flow proceeds from the outside towards the center and vice versa. 

Hydrocylone efficiency generally increases with Increased centrifugal acceleration, obtained by high tangential velocity and the small diameter of the hydrocyclone. The velocity is dependent on the pressure differential between inlet and accept. 

According to the flow directions of the reject and accept relative to the inlet hydrocyclones are called either counterflow or unidirectional flow cleaners (Fig. 4.25). In counterflow inlet and accept or reject are at the top and reject or accept at the bottom. Unidirectional flow is defined by the reject and accept coimections being opposite to the inlet. 

Usually liydrocydones have three connections (3-way with inlet, accept, reject of heavy or light weight particles). Some LC cleaners operate as 4-way cleaners (inlet, accept, reject of heavy and reject of lightweight particles) or even 5-way cleaners with an additional air outlet.

Centrifugal cleaning To separate particles from the suspension which differ in specific gravity, size and shape from the fibers. 

Core cleaning was done with an overnight Dean-Stark toluene extraction followed by 6 hours in a chloroform solvent centrifuge. Cleaned cores were equipped with stainless steel headers and had a pressure tap 0.5 in. [1.3 cm] from the inlet face.
