Cyclone Separator

Cyclone Separator

Cyclone separator demo for studying two-phase flow, Venturi feeding, air-powder transport, and material separation using a centrifugal blower.

Cyclone Separator. The equipment is for studying the principle of two phase flow using a centrifugal blower.

Powder material is fed by an agitator and a variable speed screw feeder to a Venturi tube. The material is carried by air in the tube to a cyclone where the velocity is reduced and the material is separated and dropped to the bottom.

Instruction manual is also included.

TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS

Velocity profile of air in the transfer tube using a travelling Pitot.
Observation of material separation in the cyclone.
Comparison of theoretical expression with test results for pressure loss and material collection efficiency at each air velocity.
