CYCLONE INLET AND OUTLET CONFIGURATIONS

When a high velocity gas stream bearing particulates or liquid droplets enters tangentially into a vertical pipe, the particles or droplets will collect into two streams, one spiralling downwardly and the other 

All cyclone design procedures bear the inherent condition that the solids enter uniformly dispersed over the cyclone s inlet area. This is generally the case where a cyclone is hung inside a vessel above a 

Three generic forms of cyclone can be characterized by their inlet configurations as illustrated in Fig. 11. At equal gas inlet or gas outlet velocities, the tangential generally yields the highest collection efficiency. At very high inlet particle loadings, differences between the three forms
