Циклон-фильтр

Номер: RU0000199050U1

Полезная модель относится к технике пылеулавливания и может быть использована для сухой очистки газодисперсных потоков от мелкодисперсной производственной пыли.Технической задачей предлагаемой полезной модели является повышение эффективности очистки газов от мелкодисперсных частиц классов РМ, РМс минимальными энергетическими и материальными затратами при условии предотвращения абразивного износа внутренних поверхностей аппарата.Технический результат достигается за счет разработки циклона, содержащего цилиндрический корпус с коническим днищем, штуцер тангенциального ввода запыленного газового потока, выхлопную трубу, которая выполняет функции штуцера для отвода очищенного газа по спирали, вокруг которой устанавливается фильтровальный материал (например, лавсан) на металлическом каркасе, согласно заявляемой полезной модели это вторая ступень очистки. Улучшение качества очистки не требует дополнительных затрат энергии, что является одним из преимуществ перед аналогами: в существующих конструкциях циклонов уменьшение диаметра отсекания на 0,1 мкм после 1 мкм требует не менее чем 15%-го увеличения затрат энергии. В заявляемом техническом решении затраты энергии, связанные с увеличением оптимальной скорости обработки потока с 2-5 м/с до 20 м/с, обеспечивают рост производительности единицы оборудования. При этом практически устраняется проблема абразивного износа корпуса. 4 з.п. ф-лы, 1 фиг.

No invention or process on record combines heat and vacuum to remove water , alcohol and other moisture from used oil.2. No invention or process on record combines heat and pressure to filter oil to the level of one micron creating usable recycled oil while retaining additive packages in the oil.3. No invention or process on record removes particulates that are less than one micron through the use of a centrifugal clarifier. NoneThere has been no federally sponsored research and development related to this invention.There are no parties related to a joint research agreement.There are no sequence listings relating to this invention.There are no prior disclosures related to this invention.The seed for the development of the invention was planted more than seven years ago by the applicant, Robert R. Norwood. Mr. Norwood, at the time, was consulting with a top fuel drag race team and determined that the team would be better served by recycling the engine oil from their race cars rather than replacing the oil in the engine following each pass down the drag stripThe invention is a device, contained within a cabinet-sized unit that recycles oil drained from engines and machinery of all types. The used, dirty oil from the engine or machinery is cleaned and filtered down to a particle size of one micron by the unit. The cleaned oil can be re-used in the very engine or machinery out of which it was drained, allowing the oil to be employed over and over for the life of the engine or machinery. A formerly discarded material is now recycled, promoting sustainability by eliminating an end-of-life event for millions of gallons of engine oil annually. The Steamin Deamon is assembled from a ...

A centrifugal air cleaning system broadly comprises an insert cartridge including a housing, an inlet, one or more flow guides, a stator, a compression nozzle, an expansion nozzle, and an outlet. The flow guides guide air flowing into the inlet past the stator into the compression nozzle. The stator induces a rotational vortex into the air flow. Air with heavier particles in the air flow is urged to the outside of the rotational vortex. Air with lighter particles and cleaner air is urged to the inside of the rotational vortex. The compression nozzle and the expansion nozzle are aligned to cooperatively form an annular exhaust channel. The air with the heavier particles flows through the annular exhaust channel and the air with the lighter particles and the cleaner air flows to the expansion nozzle to the outlet. 1.
