Aug 7, 2015 · In all hydrocyclones there are two outlets, one for the coarse material, this is the APEX, and the other for the fine material, which is the VORTEX FINDER. The purpose of the …

A vortex finder is defined as a component of the overflow pipe in hydrocyclones that extends into the device, playing a crucial role in discharging the lighter phase while influencing the …

Aug 19, 2022 · A smaller vortex finder allows less material to be pulled into the air core and out the overflow, creating a finer separation. Changing the diameter of the vortex finder changes …

Oct 10, 2025 · As the gas forms an inner vortex inside the cyclone, the vortex finder guides this inner vortex to the gas outlet. Without a well - designed vortex finder, the gas flow may be …

Mar 3, 2025 · In a departure from this approach, we report a novel design. Using the proposed method, exit gas is divided into dirty and clean gas by inserting a secondary vortex finder …

Sep 27, 2022 · In the present study, a double-eccentric design for the vortex finder of a cyclone separator was proposed to enhance the cyclone performance. Using the numerical …

What is a Vortex Finder? Definition: The vortex finder (also called the apex, top cone, or inner cone) is the conical or cylindrical component located at the top of the cyclone. It's the outlet …

Jul 1, 2024 · This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on an industrial large-scale tangential-inlet cyclone separator with a novel and easy-to-implement vortex finder.

To investigate the influence of vortex finder wall thickness on the internal flow field and classification performance of the hydrocyclone, numerical simulations were carried out for …

The next important parameter is the vortex finder. The primary function of the vortex finder is to control both the separation and the flow leaving the cyclone. Also, the vortex finder is …
