ABSTRACT
A new type of cyclone design configuration called MR-deDuster,
which contains multi cyclone, has been developed. A theoretical study had been
carried out to evaluate and predict the performance of a MR-deDuster.
In this paper, a comparative study was done to investigate the performance of MR-deDuster
with other conventional cyclones in terms of collection efficiency and pressure
drop. The performance of MR-deDuster was measured by its
collection efficiency based on the particle size distribution of activated
carbon. It was found that MR-deDuster is able to collect as high
as 94% of PM10 which is high comparing with many other conventional
cyclones. In addition, the pressure drop of the unit is relatively low compared
to the other cyclones which highlight the ability of the unit to capture the
fine particle at low pressure drop.
Keywords: Air pollution; cyclone efficiency; dust emission;
multi-cyclones; pressure drop
ABSTRAK
Sejenis konfigurasi reka bentuk siklon baru yang dikenali sebagai MR-deDuster
yang mengandungi pelbagai siklon, telah dibangunkan. Suatu kajian teori telah
dijalankan untuk menilai dan meramalkan prestasi MR-deDuster.
Dalam kertas ini, suatu kajian perbandingan telah dijalankan untuk mengkaji
prestasi MR-deDuster dengan siklon konvensional lain daripada segi
kecekapan pungutan dan kejatuhan tekanan. Prestasi MR-deDuster
diukur melalui kecekapan kutipan berdasarkan agihan saiz zarah karbon
diaktifkan. Didapati bahawa MR-deDuster mampu untuk
mengumpul setinggi 94% PM10 jika dibandingkan dengan siklon
konvensional lain. Di samping itu, penurunan tekanan bagi unit ini adalah agak
rendah berbanding siklon lain yang menyerlahkan keupayaan unit untuk menangkap
zarah halus pada tekanan rendah.
Kata kunci: Kecekapan
