basic calculation cyclone

The nomographs by Zanker can be used to make a preliminary estimate of the size of cyclone needed. The specialist manufacturers of hydrocyclone equipment should be consulted to determine the best arrangements and design for a particular application. Zanker’s method is outlined below and illustrated in the Example below and based on an empirical equation by Bradley (1960):

d50 = the particle diameter for which the cyclone is 50 per cent efficient, Micron

Dc = diameter of the cyclone chamber, cm,
