Résumé

In the area of large volume air cleaning, existing literature concluded that it was impractical using cyclones to achieve a particle cut size smaller than 10 µm. Particle cut size refers to the particle diameter at which the collection efficiency is 50%. Cyclone technology has been limited to use for small volume air sampling or large particle separation (typically larger than 25 µm in diameter). This paper re-examines the existing cyclone theory and particle separation in a centrifugal field. Particle separation efficiency under laminar and perfect mixing flow conditions was analyzed and equations were developed. These separation efficiency equations define the range of particle separation efficiency for a given design. The equations were validated using an uniflow deduster, a low-pressure uniflow cyclone type particle separation device. The particle cut size of the deduster was 4 µm at a pressure drop of 100 Pa (0.4 in. water) and a flow rate of 135 L/s. Effects of other forces involved in the particle separation process, such as electrostatic and diffusive forces, are discussed after comparing the models and the experimental data.
