Cyclone Mechanical Dust Collector

This document discusses the optimization of a cyclone mechanical dust collector. It defines cyclones and their role in boiler efficiency. It examines several theoretical models for evaluating cyclone performance and calculates the efficiency of an existing cyclone using these models. The document explores options for optimizing the cyclone by changing parameters or replacing it with a high efficiency cyclone. It models how efficiency would increase by arranging cyclones in series. Installing cyclones in series is identified as a feasible solution that could significantly reduce dust output.
