IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE VORTEX DUST COLLECTORS
It is proposed to use a modernized “wet” vortex dust collector for cleaning ventilation emissions from non-adhering dust. The design of the vortex dust collector contributes to its effi ciency by installing irrigation nozzles in the primary and secondary air connections made in the form of a Venturi tube, which allows reducing energy consumption during the cleaning of dusty air. Due to the multidirectional movement of dust particles and splashed water, active coagulation of dust particles and water particles occurs, as well as a liquid fi lm is formed on the inner surface of the separation chamber, which prevents the dust particles from rebounding from the separation chamber and facilitates their collection and washing into a collecting bin.
