Abstract

This paper presents the theoretical and experimental performance of MR-deDuster as an axial entry multi-cyclone system. Collection efficiency and pressure drop across the unit were measured under various operational conditions of inlet velocity and dust loading. Two different diameters of vortex finder of 73 and 90mm were theoretically evaluated using modified version of semi-empirical equations introduced by Lapple in determining its overall collection efficiency. However, only experimental data on 90 mm vortex finder diameter were compared to the theoretical predictions. Both theoretical and experimental results showed that the overall collection efficiency of MR-deDuster increases with inlet velocity.
