The choice of design and operational parameters of vortex dust collectors (VDC) influences energy costs for ensuring the required dust collection efficiency at a given volumetric cleaned gas productivity. Data on the most expedient VDC design parameters are presented. Based on analytical relationships and computer simulation data, a method for calculating hydraulic resistance of the newly designed VDC and its separating capacity has been developed.
