i have a project to design a cyclone for a detergent plant that uses agglomeration process. i have very limited information. i do not know the particle size distribution of the fine particles go through the cyclone, and i do not have the particles' density. so i dont know how to obtain the cyclone efficiency. i have the gas flow rate and temperature. i am a young engineer and i dont know what to do. Can any one help me please? any reccomendations? Modified by koj at Wed, Jan 30, 2008, 05:49:03 |

If I have learned anything in 30 years of engineering, its this: don't design something that someone else already has. There are hundreds of designs of commercially available cyclones out there, and I would be very surprised if one of them wouldn't do a very good job for you. Your time would be much better spent doing research into where to buy one rather than how to design one. Start by contacting some local dust collection equipment distributors to get a feel for which ones are technically competent and want your business. There are lots of experts out there that can help you through the specification process and help you avoid the land mines along the way. |

I absolutely agree 100% with jboggs. Let the vendor do the work and get quotes. Removal of particles from the air is a hot subject now and there are PLENTY of experts and PLENTY of designs that work well. I built one for my home wood shop for the challenge and wished I had just purchased one. All I gained was the hap-hazzard skill of building the spiral shelf, and the pride of making one with a visual cyclone, not worth the efforts. I would advise not to go with the cheapest quote simply because of cost. Think through the materials and long term results, along with ease of service and method of waste removal, and consider replacement parts availability. The worst suggestion of your lifetime may be the catalyst to the grandest idea of the century, never let suggestions go unsaid nor fail to listen to them. |
