How efficiency improve in settling chamber?

Answer 1

First, I am assuming you mean

"How do I improve the efficiency of a Gravity Settling Chamber?"

The efficiency of a settling chamber is given by: n= (Ut*L)/(H*U)

where:

'Ut' is the terminal velocity of the particle you wish to separate

'L' is the length of the settling chamber

'H' is the height of the settling chamber

'U' is the mean gas velocity within the settling chamber

'n' is the efficiency of the settling chamber

As can be seen by the formula, to improve the efficiency the settling chamber you can make the chamber longer, or you can slow the mean gas velocity within the chamber, allowing more particles to fall within the given chamber dimensions.

Settling chambers are typically long already with a low mean gas velocity so juggle between these two main ideas and find what you believe will work best in relation to the amount of product you need to make. (kgs of Gas per hour)
