This study is numerical analysis on flow characteristic in a standard cyclone dust separator. The cyclone dust separator is widely used in a industrial applications as a method for dust removed from gases. In cyclone chamber, a very complex flow field is formed, involving the interaction between highly swirling velocity and turbulent field. Numerical analysis with computational fluid dynamics(CFD) was carried out to investigate the working fluid that flow into cyclone dust separator. Helical entry type was increasing flow rate compared with tangent entry type. And according to increasing pressure difference was increased fan power. But, helical entry type was high performance dust separator, in comparison with tangent entry type.

There is a need to study dust separator screens with good drainage efficiency while effectively filtering suspended solids and other contaminants entering the intake pumping station, the drainage pumping station and the mediation pumping station, the cooling water inlet of the power plant, and the like. In this paper, Numerical studies were conducted for the optimal design of the dust separator screen using the Coanda effect. The shape of the dust separator screen is important, such as the right curvature radius $R_1$ at the top of the dust separator screen and the left curvature radius $R_2$ at the top, h is the height difference and shape between the screen and the accelerating plate, and ${\theta}$ is the inclination angle of the screen. A total of 4 shape factors were set and the effects of Coanda and drainage performance of each element were compared and analyzed, the optimum length and size of each shape element were derived by classifying the shape elements into direct and indirect influences. Finally, it was possible to effectively filter foreign matter by narrowing the screen spacing, and the drainage performance was analyzed and optimized through numerical studies of dust separator screen.

진공집진 스탠딩 그라인더는 그라인딩을 하면서 동시에 발생하는 분진을 집진하는 것으로서, 산업현장에서 도장하기 전에 도장 표면이나 용접 후 비드 부위를 깨끗하게 하기 위하여 필요하다. 최근에 스탠딩 그라인더는 연마 및 분진집진 용량이 커졌으나 반면에 발생소음이 적고 컴팩트하고 포터블화하는 추세이다. 이러한 연마와 집진 성능이 증가함에 따라서 소음과 중량이 중요한 문제로 야기된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 효율적인 사이클론을 Ansys-CFX에 의하여 해석하여 설계하고 실험을 거쳐서 개발되었으며, 그 결과, 그라인더부의 중량은 5.9kg로서 작업자가 충분히 들고 작업을 할 수 있으며, 개발 제품의 소음은 69.9dB(A)로서 좋은 결과를 얻었다.

The purpose of this study is to numerically evaluate the collection performance of an ultra-small Lapple cyclone separator for 1~10 ㎛ particles introduced at flow rate of 10 L/min. The numerical evaluation reveals that a static pressure drop occurs more dominantly inside of the cyclone separator than at the inlet and the vortex finder. Also a fluid flow in the cyclone separator is confirmed to have a helical structure heading upward in the center of cyclone separator and downward in the vicinity of wall. The investigation on dust collection efficiency of the Lapple cyclone separator shows that particles of 4~8 ㎛ diameters are collected at very lower efficiency than other sizes. Then, the cut-point diameter of the cyclone separator is 1.48 ㎛.

Along with dust collection efficiency, pressure loss is a very important cyclone operation factor. A severe rise in pressure loss causes the problem of cost. To solve the problem, the method connecting axial-vane type cyclones in parallel is suggested recently. The axial vane type cyclone dust collector applied in this study is a small portable type. Multiple cyclones are installed in a round type. The basic performance test on the axial vane type cyclone dust collector was conducted. As a result, the cut size reduced along with a rise in the wind velocity of the cyclone dust collector inlet. According to the test on dust collection efficiency, the effect of dust collection began to appear in the range of 3㎛ and dust collection efficiency was greatly improved at 5 ㎛. The noise of the cyclone dust collector well met the fan sound power level of KSB 6361.

Ultrafine dust, which is emitted from industrial factories or all kinds of vehicles, threatens the human's respiratory system and our environment. In this regard, separating airborne particles is essential to mitigate the severe problem. In this work, an axial cyclone for the effective technology of eliminating harmful dust is investigated by numerical simulation using Ansys 2020, Fluent R2. In addition, the optimized structure of the cyclone is constructed by means of multi objective optimization based on the response surface method which is a representative method to analyze the effect of design parameter on response variables. Among several design parameters, the modified length of the vortex finder and dust collector is a main point in promoting the performance of the axial cyclone. As a result, the optimized cyclone exhibits remarkable performance when compared to the original model, resulting in pressure drop of 307 Pa and separator efficiency of 98.5%.

Drilling mud was used once in the step of separating the gas and powder they were transported to a surge tank. At that time, the fine powder, such as dust that is not separated from the gas, is included in the gas that was separated from the mud. The fine particles of the powder are collected to increase the density of the powder and prevent air pollution. To remove particles from air or another gas, a cyclone-type separator generally can be used with the principles of vortex separation without using a filter system. In this study, we conducted numerical simulations of air-particle flow consisting of two components in a cyclone separator in a mud handling system to investigate the characteristics of turbulent vortical flow and to evaluate the collection efficiency using the commercial software, STAR-CCM+. First, the single-phase air flow was simulated and validated through the comparison with experiments (Boysan et al., 1983) and other CFD simulation results (Slack et al., 2000). Then, based on one-way coupling simulation for air and powder particles, the multi-phase flow was simulated, and the collection efficiency for various sizes of particles was compared with the experimental and theoretical results.

Cyclone, a type of particle collector widely used in the field of ambient sampling and industrial particulate control, is the principal type of gas-solids separator that uses a centrifugal force. The goal of this study is to design and evaluate the cyclone that can be used for the household vacuum cleaners. A multi cyclone with a 1st cyclone and several 2nd cyclones is designed to improve dust collection efficiency. The dust collection efficiency and the suction power of 1st cyclone are evaluated. And the dust collection efficiency and the suction power of multi cyclone are evaluated according to various sizes of inlet and vortex finder. As a result, a cone shape porous filter has better dust collection efficiency than a cylinder shape porous filter. The dust collection efficiency of a multi cyclone is 3.5% greater than that of a single cyclone.

The effects of structure modification of the vortex finder on the collection efficiency and pressure drop have been investigated. The pressure drop in a cyclone having the two stage vortex finder is higher than that in a conventional cyclone and increases proportionally with the increase of square of gas inlet velocity in both cases. The pressure drop of both conventional cyclone of friction resistance at the boundary layer. The collection efficiency of fine dust has been enhanced by addition of vortex finder in a conventional cyclone and gas inlet velocity showing maximum dust removal efficiency increase to 17 m/s(1.7 times of saltation velocity). Optimum size of two stage vortex finder has been induced to 13 cm I.D$\times$2.6cm Length from the results of overall dust collection efficiency. Previous models were tested for the simulation of collection efficiency of cyclone having two stage vortex finder and the Dietz model predict the similar value with experimental results of the present study.
