New krebs cyclone seperator filter ( )
These Filters have never been used. We have theme in inventory and have never had a use for them. The following info was given to us from the MFR.
The cyclone feed, a mixture of liquids and solids, enters the cyclone under
pressure, either pumped or by gravity, tangent to a cylindrical chamber.
Krebs Engineers' concept of the proper design of this fed point is an “involutedâ€
feed entrance (See Figure II) with a rectangular opening, the greater dimension
of the rectangle being parallel to the axis of the cyclone. Krebs Engineers feels
this type of design introduces the feed with much less turbulence than a straight
tangential type entrance; and since the main amount of research has been done
design only and may not be applicable to other designs.
As feed enters the chamber, a rotation of the fluid begins, causing centrifugal
forces to act on particles that have sufficient mass, moving them toward the outer wall of
the cyclone. The particles migrate downward in a spiral pattern into a conical section. At
this point the smaller mass particles migrate toward the center and spiral upwards and out
through the vortex finder. This product is termed the "overflow" and is normally
discharged at or near atmospheric pressure. The higher mass particles, upon reaching the
conical section, remain in their downward spiral path along the walls of the conical
chamber and gradually work their way out through the apex orifice. This product is
termed the "underflow", and since it must be discharged as a fluid, contains an amount of
the feed fluid often referred to as "void filling" material. The underflow, as with the
overflow, is normally discharged at atmospheric pressure.
