Abstract

Cost-effectiveness of a standard and a modified Stairmand high-efficiency type cyclone was compared at various inlet gas velocities. The modified design was obtained by replacing the roof of the standard design with a helical roof. Experiments were conducted by both standard and helical roof designs at the same operating conditions. Results showed that helical roof leads to reduced pressure drop in cyclones while having a negative impact on particle collection efficiency. Reductions in pressure drop can reach up to 30%, while particle collection efficiency is reduced by up to 8% simultaneously. Overall, the treatment cost of a cyclone separator can be reduced by 14.1–20.8%. Results indicated that helical roof design cyclones can be used to reduce overall treatment cost by cyclone separators.

1. Introduction

Cyclone separators are widely used for removing particulate matter from flue gases. Due to the simplicity in their installation and operation, they are preferred as both pretreatment and final treatment step depending on the type of dust.

Two performance parameters of a cyclone separator are pressure drop and collection efficiency. Many research studies have been dedicated to cyclones’ collection efficiency and pressure drop including the study by Demir et al. [1, 2], and the optimum design of a cyclone separator is usually based on these operating parameters in addition to particulate loading as well as particulate characteristics. A great number of research studies pertaining to the optimization of cyclone dimensions have been performed since cyclone separators have been introduced in the beginning of twentieth century [3–15]. Over years, Stairmand high-efficiency cyclone geometry has become a standard cyclone design and has been used as a reference cyclone design in many studies [16–20].

Standard cyclones consist of four basic structural elements: the inlet channel, the body, the cone, and the outlet pipe. The inlet structure is an integrated part of the cyclone body and affects both velocity and pressure fields in the cyclone, which, in turn, affects the particle collection efficiency. Therefore, it has a direct impact on performance. Specifically, the inlet structure is the main part of the cyclone that determines flow velocity in the cyclone. For this reason, numerous research studies have been dedicated to the modification of the inlet structure and the body for optimized performance of cyclone separators. Comas et al. [21] performed experiments using cyclones with and without inlet vanes, the results of which indicated that the use of an inlet vane reduces pressure drop in cyclone, while collection efficiency for large particles remains unchanged. Yoshida et al. [22] reported results of experimental and theoretical studies on cyclones with a movable inlet guide plate, in which the cut diameter is controlled by changing the clearance of the guide plate. The experiments on a helical inlet cyclone by Gong et al. [23] revealed that helical rotation angle has a strong effect on cyclone pressure drop. The authors reported that the pressure drop increases with decreasing angle of rotation. In a later study, Huang et al. [24] reported that tubular flow laminarizers installed in the inlet channel resulted in increased pressure drop (by around 6%), reduced tangential velocity component (by around 2.5%), and reduced cut diameter of the cyclone from 2.04 to 1.89 µm. Misiulia et al. [25, 26] performed numerical investigations on the effects of helical roof inlets of five different angles. In these studies, the drawdown in the body roof takes place with the inlet duct totally. They reported that the cut diameter of the cyclone increases with increasing inlet angle. Besides, the pressure drop also decreases with increasing inlet angle. Jueng Charoen Sukying et al. [27] conducted a similar study and reported similar results in terms of pressure drop and particle collection efficiency. Safikhani et al. [28] performed analyses on cyclones with two and three inlets in the same circular direction and reported that three-inlet cyclone offers the highest particle collection efficiency and the lowest pressure drop. A great number of other studies can be summarized regarding the modifications on the inlet structure of cyclone separators and all of which aims at modifying the inlet structure in a systematic manner to improve cyclone performance. For example, Wasilewski and Brar [29] and Wang et al. [30] conducted studies that only changed the inlet duct angle without modifying the body structure.

As given with a number of example research studies, even a brief literature search reveals that the cyclone geometry affects the particle collection efficiency and the pressure drop in cyclone separators considerably. However, the overwhelming majority of studies deal with the effects of cyclone dimensions and the placement of its components separately on particle collection efficiency or pressure drop. Considering the fact that the selection of cyclone geometry and the cost of flue gas treatment is a function of both particle collection efficiency and pressure drop, these two operating parameters must be considered together. These operating parameters can be combined into one operating parameter called cost-effectiveness, which is a measure of the amount of energy consumed for the separation process. Unfortunately, a literature search for both operating parameters in terms of cost-effectiveness returned null, suggesting that research studies need to be carried out to determine the effects of various cyclone designs on cost of flue gas treatment.

The main purpose of this study is to provide information on how the cyclone design affects the cost of flue gas treatment with the cyclone, which is reported using a new operating parameter called cost-effectiveness. With this aim, the effects of using a helical roof on a standard cyclone design were investigated experimentally. This study presents results from the experimental study in which performances of a Stairmand high-efficiency type cyclone with standard roof and helical roof were compared. For this purpose, a helical roof structure extending from the top to the bottom of the inlet duct in the body was designed for the standard roof Stairmand high-efficiency type cyclone. The inlet structure is the same as the classical design with no changes. Both particle collection efficiency and pressure drop data from experiments were used for comparing performances of cyclone designs. The originality of this work also comes from the calculations of cost-effectiveness of cyclones, which is a numerical value of evaluation of the cost of treatment with absolute certainty and is usually omitted in most works in current literature.

2. Materials and Methods

2.1. Cyclone Designs

A Stairmand high-efficiency type cyclone was used as the reference cyclone design. The cyclones were of tangential inlet. The body diameter of the cyclones was 290 mm with total height equal to 1160 mm. For the experiments, the helical roof cyclone was built by installing a helical structure to extend the cyclone inlet. The helical structure is an extension of the inlet which starts from the top wall of the inlet, extends downward in a rotational manner around the body wall, and completes one turn where it merges with the bottom wall of the inlet. Schematic representations of the cyclone designs are shown in Figure 1, and the dimensions are given in Table 1.

2.2. Experimental Setup

Experiments were conducted in a lab-scale cyclone separator system installed in Environmental Engineering Laboratory of Yildiz Technical University. Schematic view of the experimental setup is shown in Figure 2. The lab-scale system consists of a dust feeder, a custom-design cyclone hang, the cyclone, a radial fan, a dust bin, and digital manometers for measuring cyclone pressure drop and gas flowrate.

The experiments were organized in five repetitions for three different inlet velocities, and average values at each inlet velocity was used in evaluations. The inlet velocities were selected as 10, 13.5, and 17 m s⁻¹ based on literature data [31–33]. The inlet velocities were calculated as the ratio of average gas flowrate to the inlet surface area. The gas flowrate measurements were performed for each inlet velocity using the method described in the study by Demir et al. [34], which employs the use of differential pressure transmitters to measure fluid flow in a closed conduit running full. Pressure drop measurements were performed between the inlet and outlet of the cyclones using a Honeywell DPTE1000D digital manometer. Overall particle collection efficiency was calculated as the ratio of the mass of particles collected in the dustbin to the mass of particles injected during a cyclone run.

Cut diameter of a cyclone separator is an important operating parameter. For the cyclones in this study, the cut diameter for each run was approximated using the following equation:where η is the overall collection efficiency, d_c is the cut diameter, and d_p is the median diameter of the particles injected.

Fly ash from a combustion process was used in experiments. The inlet particle concentration was set to an average of 10 g m⁻³ for each experiment. For efficiency calculations, particle size distribution data of injected particles were obtained by a Malvern Mastersizer Hydro 2000MU particle sizer. The median diameter (d₅₀) was 15.22 μm.

2.3. Cost-Effectiveness

The concept of cost-effectiveness of a cyclone separator is defined by the amount of energy consumed for the separation process per mass of particles collected in the cyclone separator. It provides a measure of cyclone performance and allows evaluation of pressure drop and particle collection efficiency of a cyclone together, since these two operating parameters have a direct effect on the cost of separation in a cyclone separator. The amount of energy dissipated by the fan to compensate the pressure drop in the cyclone and to maintain the desired inlet velocity is simply estimated by the following formula:where P is the power requirement of the fan for compensating the pressure drop to maintain the gas flowrate (Watts), Q is the volumetric flowrate of flue gas (m³ s⁻¹), is the density of flue gas (kg m⁻³), ρ_s is the density of water (kg m⁻³), is the gravitational acceleration (9.81 m s⁻²), Δp is the pressure drop in cyclone (Pa), and is the overall efficiency of the fan. The amount of particles collected in the cyclone is calculated using the overall particulate collection efficiency as follows:where is the mass of particulate matter removed per unit time (kg s⁻¹), C is the concentration of particulate matter injected into the cyclone, and is the overall collection efficiency of the cyclone. Combining equations (2) and (3), one obtains the cost-effectiveness, which is the electrical energy consumed per unit mass of particulate matter collected, equation as follows:where is the cost-effectiveness of the cyclone design (in W h kg⁻¹ or kW h ton⁻¹).

3. Results and Discussion

3.1. Experimental Results

Measurement results of pressure drop and particle collection efficiency for both cyclone designs at each inlet velocity are shown in Figure 3. The pressure drop in Stairmand high-efficiency cyclone changed between 440 and 1180 Pa at inlet velocities between 10 and 17 m s⁻¹, while the pressure drop in the modified design ranged from 345 to 872 Pa at the same inlet velocities. For both designs, pressure drop was confirmed to be a function of the square of the inlet velocity, as expected. The results showed that using a helical roof instead of standard roof design results in a reduced pressure drop. Although construction of a helical roof is more complicated and difficult, the positive effect reaches up to considerable levels, considering the fact that the cyclone separator works continuously during its whole life. The reduction in pressure drop by the use of helical roof ranged from 21.6% to 27.1% at various inlet velocities with an average reduction of 24.9%.

The collection efficiencies showed a similar trend. In the Stairmand design, the average particle collection efficiencies ranged from 94% to 95.2% at minimum and maximum inlet velocities. In the modified design, on the other hand, the average collection efficiencies changed between 85.9% and 87.1%. The results showed that the use of a helical roof results in a reduction of collection efficiency by approximately 8%. In general, the helical roof design leads to a larger reduction in pressure drop than in collection efficiency. Thus, it can be considered, with further investigation, as a method of reducing operating costs.

The collection efficiency cannot be used as a universal measure of the cyclone performance since it depends on many factors other than cyclone geometry. Therefore, it is more convenient to report cut diameter, which is the aerodynamic diameter of particles that are collected with 50% efficiency, as an indicator of cyclone performance. The cut diameters for both cyclone designs were calculated using equation (1) and are given in Table 2. In the standard cyclone design, the cut diameter decreases gradually with increasing inlet velocity, meaning a higher particle collection efficiency at higher inlet velocities. On the other hand, the cut diameter of helical roof design increases with increasing inlet velocity up to 13.5 m s⁻¹, after which the change of cut diameter was negligible. The results are given with uncertainties calculated as one standard deviation. The discrepancies between cut diameters calculated at 13.5 and 17 m s⁻¹ for both the standard and modified cyclones were less than the uncertainties, leading to the conclusion that the differences between cut diameters at these inlet velocities were negligible.

Figure 4 shows the size distributions of the particles collected in standard and helical roof cyclones, together with the injected particles. It can be seen that the particles, which can be called PM2.5, decrease very much in the total amount after the treatment process (Figure 4(a)). This decrease was more obvious for particles 10–100 µm. The increases start at about 4 µm and 6 µm for the standard and helical roof cyclones, respectively. These results are also consistent with the calculated cut diameter values for cyclones. The frequencies of particles up to 20 µm are higher in the standard roof cyclone than helical one. Then, the frequencies of coarser particles increase in the helical roof. There are reasonable trends considering that the efficiency in standard cyclone is 8% higher. Although results at 13.5 m s⁻¹ inlet velocity are shown in Figure 4, similar trends exist at other inlet velocities.

(a)

(b)

Figure 4(b) shows the cumulative size distributions of the injected and collected particles. It is seen that the mean median diameter value of the particles collected in the standard cyclone increases compared to the injected particles. The overall collection efficiency is lower than standard cyclone in the helical one. Therefore, the grade efficiencies are lower for fine particles too, which result in increased median diameter of collected particles.

3.2. Cost-Effectiveness

As shown in Figure 3, the use of helical roof leads to drastic reductions in cyclone pressure drop, while it also leads to increased cut diameter, that is, reduced particle collection efficiency. The calculation of cost-effectiveness is a method of evaluating both performance parameters and is a measure of how much it costs to reduce particle load in the flue gas by cyclone separators. Therefore, cost-effectiveness for the standard and helical roof cyclones were calculated and compared to decide the best cyclone design for best performance, that is, the highest collection efficiency possible at the lowest pressure drop. For calculations, the inlet particle concentrations were assumed as 10 g m⁻³ (as equal to the average of inlet particulate matter concentrations in experiments). Rather than the total pressure drop in the system including all piping and fittings, only cyclone pressure drops, that is, the measured pressure drop between the inlet and outlet of the cyclone, were used in calculations. The results are summarized in Table 3. At the lowest inlet velocity (10 m s⁻¹), the cost-effectiveness of the standard cyclone was calculated as 28.4 W h ton⁻¹, while it was calculated as 24.4 W h ton⁻¹ for the modified cyclone. With the increased pressure drop and reduced particle collection efficiency by the addition of a helical roof to the Stairmand high-efficiency cyclone, it was experimentally observed that considerable energy savings was accomplished at the expense of reduced particle collection efficiency. The cost-effectiveness of the cyclone was reduced by 14.1% by the use of helical roof at 10 m s⁻¹ of inlet velocity.

The main reason of reduced operating costs was the fact that helical roof affects pressure drop more than particle collection efficiency. At the inlet velocity of 13.5 m s⁻¹, the reduction in pressure drop was more obvious compared to that measured at 10 m s⁻¹ (Figure 3), which lead to a more drastic decrease in calculated cost efficiency of the helical roof cyclone. It has been experimentally determined that the cost of flue gas treatment at 13.5 m s⁻¹ was reduced by approximately 21% by using a helical roof design. Similar findings were observed at the inlet velocity of 17 m s⁻¹, at which the increasing trend of particle collection efficiency stopped (Table 2), and the ratio of pressure drop to inlet velocity increased more slowly. As a result, the cost savings at 17 m s⁻¹ was calculated as 19%. Overall reductions in cost-effectiveness ranged from 14.1% to 20.8% at inlet velocities of 10 and 13.5 m s⁻¹, respectively. Results indicated that the use of helical roof leads to drastic reductions in treatment costs with cyclone separators.

Considering the fact that cyclone separators can also be used as the main control device in certain cases, the reduction in particle collection efficiency exhibits a major disadvantage for the use of cyclone. On the other hand, calculated values of cost-effectiveness for modified cyclone suggested that the helical roof design can be used in cases where the cyclone separator is used as a preliminary control device, and the operating cost (pressure drop) is a more important than the particle collection efficiency.

4. Conclusions

In this study, effects of helical roof structure on Stairmand high-efficiency cyclone performance was investigated. For this purpose, a Stairmand high-efficiency cyclone was modified with a helical roof structure and was run at various inlet velocities. Performances of standard and helical roof designs were evaluated based on their pressure drop and particle collection efficiencies at the same conditions. Besides, cost-effectiveness was calculated to see the reduction in the cost of treatment by the modified design. Following conclusions can be withdrawn:(i)Helical roof leads to reduced pressure drop over the cyclone separator. Reduction in pressure drop can be as high as 30% at high inlet velocities.(ii)Helical roof design has a negative influence on cyclone’s cut diameter. Particle collection efficiency of a helical roof cyclone is always lower than the standard cyclone.(iii)Since helical roof design leads to reduced particle collection efficiency, it can be considered to be a cost-effective option for pretreatment cyclones.(iv)Cyclone separators can be designed with helical roofs for reducing overall operating costs and to run the cyclone with a higher cost-effectiveness.
