In order to get the high collection efficiency of the electrocyclone. the effect of inlet and electrode shapes must be well grasped. In this study, performance characteristics of electrocyclone with different inlet and electrode shapes were experimentally investigated and compared as a function of particle size. Experimental results indicated that the helical inlet and tooth electrode have effect on significantly increasing collection efficiency.

싸이클론 집진장치는 구조 및 운전이 간단하여 비용이 적게 들고 유입 기체 온도에 대한 넓은 운전 범위을 가지고 있기 때문에 여러 산업공정에서 분진을 제어, 분리하는데 널리 사용하는 집진장치중의 하나이다. 하지만 미세 입자에 대해서는 낮은 집진효율을 가지고 있기 때문에 이러한 단점을 보완할 수 있는 방법으로 기존 싸이클론에 전기적 특성을 이용한 전기싸이클론(Electrocyclone)이 사용되었다.(중략)

In this paper Various aerosol cyclones that are developed recently form Kwangju Institute of Science and Technology(KJIST) for increasing collection efficiency or for decreasing pressure drop are reviewed. For the first time, new sets of experimental data are reported on the particle collection efficiency of cyclones with modified surface bodies namely, spiral guide body, circumferential groove body, and vertical groove body. Multi-cylinder cyclones by adding one or two additional cylindrical walls into the conventional cyclone are also described. Ad an attempt to increase the collection efficiency of small particles, electrocyclone using an externally applied electric field was designed and operated. In addition, factors affecting the cyclone performance were studied including flowrate, body and outlet sizes, cyclone dust outlet, and gas property.

The characteristics of flow and particle collection for an electrocyclone with a central wire inside a high efficiency Stairmand cyclone was numerically analysed. Turbulent flow field was modeled by the Reynolds stress model and solved with an FVM code FLUENT. Particle motion and in-situ charging were simultaneously solved by a Lagrangian integration with time. The flow field obtained was in good agreement with experiments in the outer region. The characteristics of collection enhancement due to electric force were well manifested and well explained based on first principles. The effect of the in-situ charging process was very similar to the case of a simplified assumption of saturated charging, and the effect of the hopper was proved negligible.

For the recycle of coal fly ash generated from power stations, we developed an electrocyclone system which can separate unburned carbon form coal fly ash, based on the fact that coarse fly ash particles contain higher amount of unburned carbon and unburned carbon particles are charged positively, and pure ash particles are charged negatively on contacting each other. Additionally, guide vanes were installed in the cyclone to control the cut size. Two types of electrode, stick and grid type, were designed to investigate the effect of electrode type. Results show that by introducing an electric field inside the cyclone, the yield increases by 5 to 15e1o. But the content of unburned carbon in the clean ash does not change significantly.
