Cover Story: Tangential inlet return cyclones are used as the first stage of air filtration for vehicle engines operating in dusty conditions. The filtration efficiency of cyclones was increased by modifying their construction. The symmetrical inlet channel was replaced by an asymmetrical channel, and the cylindrical outlet tube by a conical tube with a streamlined inlet opening. Experimental tests of each cyclone modification were performed for air flow rate QG = 5-30 m3/h. A polydisperse AC-fine test dust with a concentration of 1 g/m3 was used. An (approximately 1%) increase in separation efficiency was obtained for small (up to QG = 22 m3/h) air flux values and an approximately 30% decrease in pressure drop over the entire QG range. There was an increase in filtration accuracy for small and large QG. View this paper
