A cyclone separator is one of the most important components in a circulated fluidized bed (CFB) boiler. Its performance affects the design and operation of the CFB boiler directly. It is common to adopt several cyclones in parallel to the furnace to separate dust from gas in a large CFB boiler. Different arrangements of cyclones affect the separator performance greatly.
For a cold model of a 600 MW supercritical CFB boiler, the experimental and numerical studies on the arrangement of 6 cyclones were co...
