An auxiliary device, called Post Cyclone (PoC). had been introduced and primarily examined in earlier works which proved the reduction of the emission of fine dust from the gas-solid cyclones without incurring significant increase of cost and pressure drop. It has been known that the PoC has some advantages over other secondary dust treatment devices such as (a) simple design, (b) low cost of manufacture, (c) minimum additional pressure drop, (d) high recoverbility of the product dust, and (e) simplicity of operation. Despite the potential advantage, however, lack of practical data confined its plausible application in wide areas. Thus, in this work, a few serial experiments were conducted in terms of a few operation conditions, and the particle trajectories throughout the cyclone set-up were visually analyzed by using a commercial computer simulation program (FLUENT).

A large volume of work has been attempted to improve the separation efficiency of cyclone by establishing new design and optimum operation. An auxiliary device called Post Cyclone (PoC) has been introduced and tested in an earlier work (In order to reduce the emission of fine dust from the reverse flow cyclones). This work applies the PoC to remove the dust and gaseous elements using a centrifugal effect remained in the discharging flow over the cyclone. As a result of the experiment, the efficiency was found best at the high gas concentration and low inlet velocity.

Axial-flow cyclone separator cluster can be used for a dust removal device inside a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning(HVAC) system of subway station. In this study, 3-dimensional computational fluid dynamics(CFD) analysis was performed to compare single unit axial-flow cyclone with couple unit axial-flow cyclone cluster. It is shown that the performance of cyclone separator is not influenced by number of single units but influenced by ability of single unit.

The cyclone separator is a simple device, which causes the centrifugal separation of materials such as droplets or particles in a fluid stream. The cyclone separator utilizes the energy obtained from fluid pressure and linear motion to create rotational fluid motion. This rotational motion leads the materials suspended in the fluid to separate from the fluid quickly due to the centrifugal force. The rotation is produced by the tangential or involuted introduction of fluid into the vessel. These materials may be droplets of fuel in blow-by gas through an engine. Droplets suspended in the feed liquid may separate according to size, shape, or density. And the change of part dimension in a cyclone separator can yield the its performance variation. The current study shows the influence of design parameters on the performance of a cyclone separator for blow-by gas.

Cyclones have been extensively used in the industry for removing fine particles from the gaseous streams, based on simplicity in design and construction in association with low cost and flexibility to operate in extreme and harsh environments. However, industrial cyclones are typically not very efficient for particles smaller than 10μm. In this work, in order to improve the separation efficiency of reverse flow cyclones, a simple device named Post Cyclone(Poc) in installed on the top of an existing cyclone. Thereby the residual swirl present at the outlet (vortex finder) of a conventional cyclone has been used to capture the escaped dust from the cyclone in the PoC. The performance of PoC was closely evaluated by changing configuration of the PoC and operation condition. In addition, the dust behaviour in th PoC was investigated based on the hypothesis of residual vortex.

Cyclones are among the oldest types of industrial particulate control equipment and air sampling device. Until now, a great number of experimental studies have been performed on cyclones. In these studies, almost all of the eight cyclone dimensions were varied and Changes in cyclone performance produced by these variations were studied. However, very little information is available on the effects of the cone bottom diameter. (omitted)

Fine dust generated from vehicle brakes accounts for a significant amount of fine dust from non-exhaust system. Since such brake fine dust contains a large number of heavy metal components that are fatal to the human body, a device capable of collecting them needs to be developed. A mini cyclone, one of the devices that can effectively collect fine dust, has the advantage of relatively simple shape and high collection efficiency. Therefore, in this study, the collection efficiency of the mini-cyclone was numerically analyzed using CFD in order to find out whether such a mini-cyclone is suitable for collecting brake fine dust. As a result, the cut-off diameter was predicted to be about 1.5㎛, which means that the particle trapping load of the filter can be drastically reduced. Therefore, there is a possibility that the mini-cyclone can be used to collect fine dust from disc brakes.

A novel two stage cylindrical cyclone was developed for a 3 phase separator in shale oil production industry. The cyclone performance was compared with a cone type cyclone and multi cyclone at the same experimental condition using water and oil mists generated by a humidifier and atomizer at the flow rate 1 to $2m^3/min$. The removal efficiency of total suspended water droplets by the novel cyclone, calculated using inlet and outlet concentrations measured by an optical particle counter, was 99% which is higher than 90% of oil droplet removal efficiency at $2m^3/min$. It might be due to the evaporation of small water droplets during the tests. The water and oil droplet removal performance of the novel cyclone based on the quality factor which is a function of pressure drop and removal efficiency was the highest among three cyclones. The results indicate that the cyclone could be an economical device to remove water and oil mists from shale gas generation processes where a huge three phase separator is commonly used.

현재 해양 미세플라스틱에 의한 해양 환경 오염문제가 국제적으로 심각하게 대두되고 있다. 이와 관련하여 본 연구에서는 휴대용 미세플라스틱 수거 장비의 경량화 개발을 위해 대한민국 전국 21개소 해안가에서의 미세플라스틱종류와개수를조사하였고, 미세플라스틱수거장비진공장비의내구성, 내부식성, 경량화를위해 CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic), GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic), ABS(Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene copolymer), aluminum과 같은 다양한 소재를 적용하여 설계 및 해석을 수행하였다. 해안가에서의 시료 채취 및 분류결과 함덕해수욕장에서 미세플라스틱이 가장 많이 분포되어 있는 것을 확인하였고, 주로 폴리스타이렌(Polystyrene)의 미세플라스틱이 분포되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 해안가 현장 조사를 통한 입자정보 분석과 전산유체해석을 통해 모래 및 불순물 등의 입자 유동속도 및 분포를 분석하였고, 이를 진공 본체 내부의 중요 부품인 싸이클론 장치의 구조해석에 적용하였다. 싸이클론 장치의 모래 및 불순물 흡입 시 발생되는 입자 충격을 고려한 구조해석 결과 CFRP, GFRP, aluminum, ABS의 순으로 구조적 안전성이 우수한 것으로 평가되었다. 경량화 측면으로는 싸이클론 장치에 aluminum 소재를 적용했을 때와 비교하여 CFRP는 53%, GFRP는 47%, ABS는 61%의 경량화가 가능한 것으로 나타났다.
