Abstract
The paper presents an original design of the separator with straight rows of arc-shaped elements, which allows efficient separation of solid particles without significant abrasive wear of the device’s surfaces. A three-dimensional model of the device is developed, and the principle of its operation is described. In this paper, a numerical study of the capture of solid particles from a gas flow in the separation device is performed. It is found that at a relatively low inlet gas velocity (1 m/s), the separation efficiency of particles with a diameter of 20 to 100 μm is on average 78.9%. An increase in the inlet velocity of the dusty gas flow results in a decrease in the efficiency of the device for particles ranging in size from 25 to 80 μm. The pressure drop of the separator at a velocity of 1 m/s ranges from 45.5 to 95.4 Pa, and at a gas velocity of 4 and 7 m/s – from 740.8 to 4652.1 Pa. An increase in the number of straight arc-shaped elements from 4 to 12 and an increase in particle density from 3400 to 10000 kg/m3 leads to improved separation efficiency.
