Gas Cyclones and Swirl Tubes: Principles, Design and Operation

Believed to be a publishing first when it was originally brought out, this book covers all aspects of centrifugal gas cleaning devices.

Now, it appears in a second, fully updated and revised edition.

These are cyclones used as gas-solid separators for dedusting and as gas-liquid separators for demisting, and as such they are widely used in industry.

The optimization of cyclone performance for any given task is an often-sought goal but is seldom achieved in practice.

Understanding cyclone performance as a function of a cyclone's size, geometry, feed properties, feed flow rates and the system of which it is a part, is essential if one wishes to successfully design, operate, troubleshoot or predict cyclone performance.

The information presented in this book will help to develop this understanding.
