MICROSCOPIC PARTICLE SEPARATION AND APPLICATIONS

Abstract

The application of ultra-microscopic particle separation studies ranges from the protection of turbine engines from dust and/or sea spray to applications in the field of air pollution. The paper presents not only the theory of these devices and laboratory experimental results, but also field testing results on selected units. The important trade-offs between design parameters and the selection processes required to tailor a dust separator to a specific application are discussed and other important areas of application are suggested.
