Swirl chamber separator

Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a process for isolating and/or separating solid and/or liquid particles (disperse phase) from gaseous and/or liquid media (continuous phase) and for separating mixed gases (gas-gas separation) and/or mixed liquids (liquid-liquid separation) and for sifting and/or classifying using a cyclone separator having a dip pipe 35. To reduce the flow losses in the introduction of spin, the contact zone between the main flow and the vortex is adjusted to the fixed cylinder casing boundary in such a manner that the tangential entry momentum into the bottom layer flow is increased by reducing the secondarily circulating momentum fraction of the bottom layer flow in the cyclone chamber. To reduce the momentum mixing losses by dissipative pressure loss in the flow in the main channel, the bottom layer flow is designed to be rotationally symmetric at constant or approximately constant mean main flow velocity. The clean gas flow is conducted through dip pipes 35, having cross-sectional areas enlarging towards the outlet, in such a manner that in the zones of the highest flow velocity, the flow is only loaded by weak meridional flow deflections. The clean gas flow is conducted on the outer wall of the dip pipes with velocity increasing towards the intake sections. <IMAGE>
