Abstract
The cyclone dust collector is applied to many kinds of industries and also there are many types of cyclones which are selected for the application and the placement of the establishment. However the cross section of these cyclones is the circular cylindrical section for the optimum condition of the turbulent rotational flow. However from the energy consumption and the collection efficiency points of view, the circular cross section of the cyclone is not always recommended but the elliptic cross section is recommended. Therefore in this paper, the detailed experimental results of the collection efficiency for the circular cross section and for the elliptic cross sections of the eccentricity ɛ=0.5,0.6and 0.7 are reported. The test dust for these experiments is fly-ash of the mean diameter Xpm=18.0 µm and 18.3 µm. The feed particle concentration is Co=1.0–50 g/m3.
