Study on the influence of cone length in volute-type cyclone separators on flow field characteristics and energy consumption

Key Points

• Flow field characteristics improve with optimized cone length, leading to lower energy consumption.
• Energy consumption decreased by 15% when comparing different cone lengths in volute-type cyclone separators.
• Assessment using computational fluid dynamics simulated the flow characteristics influenced by varying cone lengths.
• These findings highlight energy savings potential, prompting further design adjustments for efficiency.
