The performance of 1D3D and 2D2D cyclones is highly
dependent on the inlet air velocity and air density. Proposed
cyclone design inlet velocities are:
16 m/s (3200 ft/min) with air density at standard condition
for 1D3D cyclones.
15 m/s (3000 ft/min) with air density at standard condition
for 2D2D cyclones.
It is important to consider the air density effect on the
cyclone performance in the design of cyclone abatement
systems. TCD ideal design velocity for 1D3D, 2D2D, and
1D2D cyclones should be the ideal inlet velocity of standard
air, not the ideal inlet velocity of actual air. In designing
cyclone abatement systems, the proposed design velocity
should be the basis for sizing the cyclone and determining the
cyclone pressure drop. The recommended sizes for 1D3D,
2D2D, and 1D2D cyclones are reported in this article.ill in progress.
