Cyclone with guide vanes
A cyclone for the separation of solid particles and/or at least one liquid from a fluid, featuring a housing, an inlet opening for introducing the fluid together with the solid particles and/or the at least one liquid into the housing, a discharge port for the solid particles and/or the at least one liquid, a dip tube for discharging the fluid from the housing, and at least two guide vanes. Each guiding vanes shows a geometrical form with at least three edges e 1 , e 2 , e 3 . Further, each guide vane is directly or indirectly fixed to the housing with at least one edge e 3 at a fixing point, whereby an area a is defined as the cross-sectional area of the housing intersecting the fixed edges e 3 . In addition, each guide vane shows at least two edges e 1 and e 2 which are not fixed to the housing, whereby the first edge e 1 has a distance d 1 and the second edge e 2 has a distance d 2 , and whereby d 1 <d 2 to the centerline c of the housing. According to the invention, the first edge e 1 shows a distance L 1 to the area a and the second edge e 2 shows a distance L 2 , whereby L 2 >1,25*L 1.
1. A cyclone for the separation of solid particles and/or at least one liquid from a fluid, comprising a housing, an inlet opening for introducing the fluid together with the solid particles and/or the at least one liquid into the housing, a discharge port for the solid particles and/or the at least one liquid, a dip tube for discharging the fluid from the housing, and at least two guide vanes, each with a geometrical form with at least three corners e 1 , e 2 , e 3 and each guide vane being directly or indirectly fixed to the housing with at least one corner e 3 at a fixing point, whereby an area a is defined as the cross-sectional area of the housing intersecting the fixed corners e 3 , whereby each guide vane shows at least two corners e 1 and e 2 which are not fixed to the housing, whereby the first corner e 1 has a distance d 1 and the second corner e 2 has a distance d 2 , and whereby dl<d 2 to the centerline c of the housing wherein the first corner e 1 shows a distance L 1 to the area a and the second corner e 2 shows a distance L 2 , whereby L 2 >1.25×L 1 , wherein the geometric form features at least four corners e 1 , e 2 , e 3 and e 4 , whereby two corners e 3 and e 4 are fixed directly or indirectly, and wherein the geometric form is a trapezoid and the connection between the two corners e 1 and e 2 is one of the trapezoid's parallel sides.
2. The cyclone according to claim 1 , wherein the discharge port is arranged opposite to the inlet opening.
3. The cyclone according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the guide vanes is curved in one axis.
4. The cyclone according to claim 3 , wherein the radius of the curving changes over the distance between corner e 1 and corner e 3 and/or corner e 2 and corner e 3 .
5. The cyclone according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two of the guides vanes are mounted on a support element which is fixed at the housing.
6. The cyclone according claim 1 , wherein the distance between the area a to the opening of the dip tube in the housing is maximum 40% of the overall length of the housing and/or that the distance between the area a to the opening of the dip tube is at a height of between 60 and 100% of the overall length of the housing measured from the discharged port.
7. The cyclone according to claim 1 , wherein the distance between the opening of the dip tube and the housing cap is between 0 and 70% of the total length of the housing.
8. A support element with at least four guide vanes, whereby each guide vane comprises a geometrical form with at least three corners e 1 , e 2 and e 3 , whereby at least one corner e 3 is fixed to the support element at fixing points, whereby each guide vane comprises at least two corners e 1 and e 2 which are not fixed to the support element, whereby the first corner e 1 has a distance d 1 and the second corner e 2 has a distance d 2 , and whereby dl<d 2 to a centerline c of a housing, wherein the support element forms the area a and that the first corner e 1 comprises a distance L 1 to the area a and the second corner e 2 comprises a distance L 2 , whereby L 2 >1.25×L 1 , wherein the geometric form features at least four corners e 1 , e 2 , e 3 and e 4 , whereby two corners e 3 and e 4 are fixed directly or indirectly, and wherein the geometric form is a trapezoid and the connection between the two corners e 1 and e 2 is one of the trapezoid's parallel sides.
