Gas Cyclone: Equipment Tab

Variable Definitions, Ranges and Default Values

The following table shows the meaning of the variables appearing in this tab, as well as their default values and their generally acceptable range. Note that due to the manner by which the variables are used by the sizing and costing equations, the range of acceptable values may be further reduced.

Variable	Default Value	Range

◙ Body Diameter The diameter of the main body of the cyclone vessel.	0.0 m	Positive
◙ Max Body Diameter The maximum body diameter the cyclone can be resized to.	2.0 m	Positive
● Inlet Height	0.0 m	Positive
● Inlet Width	0.0 m	Positive
● Gas Outlet Diameter	0.0 m	Positive
● Outlet Duct Diameter for Dust	0.0 m	Positive
● Gas Outlet Length	0.0 m	Positive
● Height of Upper Cylindrical Body	0.0 m	Positive
● Overall Height	0.0 m	Positive
● Rated Throughput	0.0 L/h	Positive

Symbol Key: ○ User-specified value (always input); ● Calculated value (always output); ◙ Sometimes input, sometimes output

Sizing: Design Mode

In Calculate (Design Mode), the user specifies the Maximum Pressure Drop and the system computes the Number of Units and the Body Diameter.

Sizing: Rating Mode

In User-Defined (Rating Mode), the user specifies the Number of Units and the Body Diameter.

Costing

The purchase cost of the equipment is based on the rated volumetric throughput. By default it is calculated by the programs built-in model for a cyclone with a minimum a minimum volumetric throughput of 0.472 m³/s.
