Multi Unit Cyclone

Instead of a single cyclone, sometimes multi unit cyclones are applied. Multi unit cyclones can be arranged parallel or in series.

Reasons to choose a multi unit can be a.o.:

• High flow volumes
• Discontinuous flow volumes (partial switch on/off)
• Process operation changes (dust type, quantity, content)
• Required redundancy
• Space restrictions
• Collection efficiency
• economic efficiency in manufacturing, transport and handling

An increased collection eficiency can be achieved by »in series« arrangements (the entire gas volume must pass each cyclone). Usually, multi cyclone units are designed as twin, quad or eightfold cyclones.
