Working principle of cyclone dust collector

Cyclone dust collector is a widely used dust removal equipment in industrial production. Its working principle is based on the action of centrifugal force and inertial force, which separates solid particles in the gas. The following is a detailed analysis of the working principle of a cyclone dust collector.

1. Basic structure

The cyclone dust collector mainly consists of the following parts:

Inlet pipe: used to introduce dusty gas into the dust collector.

Cyclone body: usually a cylindrical or conical body that forms a vortex inside.

Exhaust pipe: located at the top of the cyclone body, used to discharge purified gas.

Ash hopper: located at the bottom of the cyclone body, used to collect separated dust.

2. Working principle

The working principle of a cyclone dust collector can be divided into the following steps:

2.1 Gas Introduction

The dusty gas enters the cyclone cylinder of the cyclone dust collector at a corresponding speed through the intake pipe. The intake pipe is usually designed to enter tangentially or axially to ensure that the gas forms a rotating flow inside the cylinder.

2.2 Cyclone Formation

After the dusty gas enters the cyclone cylinder, due to the tangential or axial design of the intake pipe, the gas forms a strong rotational flow inside the cylinder. This rotational flow causes solid particles in the gas to be subjected to centrifugal force and move towards the wall of the cylinder.

2.3 Particle Separation

Under the action of centrifugal force, solid particles are thrown towards the wall of the cylinder and move downwards along the wall. Due to the effect of gravity, particles fall into the ash hopper. At the same time, the purified gas forms an upward airflow in the central area of the cylinder and is discharged through the exhaust pipe.

2.4 Gas discharge

The purified gas forms an upward airflow in the central area of the cylinder and is discharged through the exhaust pipe. Since the particulate matter has been separated and fallen into the ash hopper, the discharged gas is basically clean.

3. Maintenance and upkeep

In order to ensure the normal operation and dust removal of the cyclone dust collector, regular maintenance and upkeep are required, mainly including:

Regularly clean the ash hopper: prevent excessive accumulation of ash in the hopper, which may affect the dust removal effect.

Check the intake and exhaust pipes: Ensure that the intake and exhaust pipes are unobstructed.

Check the cyclone body: Regularly inspect the wear of the cyclone body and replace damaged parts in a timely manner.
