Cyclone trap for very small particles

This thesis deals with really small cyclone separators which could be used for a flue gas purification. The search section discusses particle formation in combustion, their characteristics, any other flue gas cleaning options and last but not least, a cyclone separator where is the effort to understand all the influences that contribute to a cyclone’s resulting separability. The Experimental section analyses a calculation of the cyclone and theoretical separability, a verification of this separability using a cyclone created by a 3D printer. On the one hand, the verification was made by gravimetric analysis which is intended for a bigger particles, on the second hand, it was made using the PALAS which is aimed at particles in µm. There is also a comparison of theoretical and measured values in this section
