Cyclone Separators
Production Description
- Cyclone separator is a Mechanical device either machined or cast in structure. The lower body and the upper body is sealed with an elastomeric O-ring and is connected with the help of studs and nuts. The internal diameter of the cyclone separator gradually tapers down. It has three ports – inlet, outlet, drain.
Objective
- Cyclone separator is used for removal of dirt and solid particle from the flush liquid so that clean liquid reaches to the mechanical seal or to designed source.
- It is also used in combination with restriction orifice plate to provide pressure drop and supply the clean liquid with required pressure to the mechanical seals.
Advantages
- Contaminations including dirt & solid particles are automatically conveyed to the suction nozzle.
- No consumption of electricity owing to complete mechanical design.
- High filtration efficiency
- Low space requirements because of compact design
- Provides exact required pressure differential with the help of orifice plate.
Technical Features
- Tangential entry of liquids containing solid particles provides sufficient centrifugal force to create a vortex allowing solid particles to spiral down due to difference in densities of liquid & solid particle.
- Separation efficiency is maximum when the density of the solids is at least double than that of flush liquid.
- Operates at best when the minimum pressure differential between discharge and stuffing box is 1.7 bar.
- Used in combination with orifice plate to achieve required pressure to be provided at the Seal faces
