Analysis and Optimization of a Cyclone Integrated with a Cartridge Filter in a Hazardous Materials Collection Truck

الملخص EN

In order to meet the filtration separation of hazardous materials on hazardous materials collection truck, the most popular separation devices, such as the cyclone separator and the filter cartridge, are combined to form a new filtration device in this study.

The advantages of the two devices are utilized to achieve effective separation of solid particles and prevent secondary pollution.

Among the various structural influence factors of filtration equipment, four structural parameters that affect the separation performance significantly are selected as optimization variables.

The response surface methodology was used to design the simulation experiment.

Using fluid mechanics analysis software, multiple sets of parameters were simulated.

Then, the simulation data was used to establish a mathematical model of separation efficiency, and structural optimization analysis was performed based on the mathematical model.

Finally, the results show that the inner exhaust pipe diameter and the cone height have more influence on the efficiency of the cyclone separation structure.

The interaction between the diameter and insertion depth of the inner exhaust pipe is also obvious.

Among the four optimization variables, there is an optimum value for the inner exhaust pipe insertion depth, and the effect of the other three factors on the separation efficiency is monotonic.

In the case of a total separation efficiency of 99.9% and after optimizing the combined model within a reasonable interval, 81.25% of the 1-μm particles can be removed by the cyclone separation part, and only 18.75% are removed by the filter cartridge.
