Application of Cyclones :
cyclones :
These are pieces of equipment which.
absorb and collect the dust particles
suspended in the air or polluted
sources by a sucking device as
a pre - filtration system.
Cyclones Operation :
these systems are efteciivelv used in various indusines
sueli as cement, gypsum, lime, wood, aspliiill. steel, siigar
and textile industries and generallv those industries which are
involve with dust particles. Cyclones are genenilly able to colled aiul ahsor
particles larger than 10 Microns with 90 percent efficiency.
In this system, the existing dust particles are directed through relevant canals towards the cyclone by a
suitable and strong sucking device. The coarse particles are then sedimented by centrifugal forces and
the air containing fine particle exit from the vertical axis of cyclone. Meanwhile, by adding several filter
layers and one bag filter, as final filter, very fine particles can be collected as required and unpolluted
and dust - free air be direted to the environment through the exit canal.

Types and Dimensions of Cyclones :
Advantages of Cyclones:
1 - Economy.
2 - Simple repair and maintenance
3 - Simple mechanism.
4 - Low pressure drop.
Cyclones are designed and manufactured in various
forms as follows :
1 - Simple cyclone with high efficiency.
2 - Helical cyclone with high effeciency.
3 - Multi - cyclone.
The cyclone can be designed from a few centimeters to
about 2m in diameter and with m to 4m height.
