Abstract

This paper describes the effects of varying the minor flow on particle collection efficiency and particle concentration in small cyclones. A cyclone haying a minor flow pumped out from its dust outlet is referred to as a virtual cyclone in this study although the terminology has been used for other types of devices (Torczynski and Rader, 1997). The virtual cyclones tested here have a rectangular inlet and circular outlet similar to the conventional cyclone. (omitted)
