Multicyclone Separator
This is a dry-type mechanical separator designed for high efficiency. Filtration efficiency for particles of 5 ÷ 10 μm is 90%, while for larger particles the separation efficiency reaches 99%. Muliticyclone is composed of a large number of smaller cyclone separators. cyclone separators are placed in parallel on the support plate in the upper (outlet) mulitcyclone chamber. The easily dismountable support plate allows simple replacement of individual elements (cyclone separators). The lower chamber has a cone-shaped construction for safe discharge of collected material Multicyclone housing is made of steel plate and endures harsh operating conditions and temperatures up 300°C. Thermal insulation is made of mineral wool and aluminum sheet lining.
Multicyclones are widely applied in many industrial processes:
- Termal power plants,
- Coal treatment & processing
- Cement industry,
- Lime production,
- Stone separationa,
- Chemical industry,
- Metallurgy.
- Dust-laden gas is introduced through the upper multicyclone chamber;
- The gas is further directed towards a series of cyclone separators rectangularly distributed on the support plate, where depending on mass and velocity, centrifugal force separates the particulate matter from gas carrier;
- Separated particles fall vertically down into multicyclone bin and then further transported to the collection point where dust is reloded. Cleaned gas exits through the outlet pipe into the atmosphere.
- Simple construction and no moving parts, which means that maintenance during operation is very simple and reduced to regular checkouts .
- High separation degree, reliable operation, relatively inexpensive and have munimum operating costs .
- Cyclone separators, as multicyclone structural component are highly resistant to wear, because they are made of cast-iron for longer durability
