PENGUJIAN KARAKTERISTIK KINERJA SIKLON SEPARATOR HEMAT ENERGI
Abstract
The performance of cyclone separator is measured by its capability to separate solid particles from dust laden gas ow and its pressure drop. The last parameter shows the energy used for running it. The cyclone having highest separation efficiency and lowest pressure drop is needed in the industrial application. It is the aim of this research work to study a modified cyclone in order to find a better performance than the classical cyclone type. The modification is employed by inclining the roof of cyclone. With this modification, the pressure drop could be reduced of about 50% without significantly reducing of separation efficiency. This paper presents an investigation of performance of the modified cyclone. This experiment proposes some empirical correlation of separation eiciency and pressure drop at various values of dust load.
