摘要:The separation of particles with big inertial mass transported in the air, is most often done with the help of cyclones, due to their resistance to wear at contact with abrasive particles. However, pneumatic conveying of heavy and abrasive granular material mixed with fines, are problematic even for cyclone hardened inlets. The paper studies a new method of dividing the main airflow in two airstreams, one further divided in more smaller streams to achieve the laminar regime, by using a corrugated shaped inlet. Thus generating an improvement in impact resistance, overall cyclone grade efficiency and decreasing pressure drop.
