| Abstract: | In response to the divergent understanding of double inlet cyclone performance in the literature, the effect of inlet volute wrap angle on the performance and flow field of double inlet cyclone separator was studied by Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) method. The results showed that the inlet volute wrap angle can affect the comparison results of the single and double inlet gas cyclones with the same total inlet cross-sectional area and velocity. 0° and 90° volute double inlet improved the efficiency mainly by separating particles below 10 μm, while 180° volute double inlet had no separation advantage for any particles, so the symmetrical double inlet does not always improve the efficiency, and the appropriate inlet volute wrap angle should be selected according to the actual situation, otherwise, the expected performance requirements of the symmetrical double inlet cyclone cannot be achieved. Compared with the flow field, it is found that the inlet volute wrap angle changed the tangential velocity of the symmetrical double inlet cyclone separator, thus changing the performance. |
