Abstract
An experimental study of a gas-liquid cyclonic separator is presented. The equipment has a tangential inlet, a cylindrical body and two inner fixed components: a section of guiding vanes near the inlet and a static element near the liquid outlet, intended to break the rotation of the downward liquid flow and minimize contact between the two phases inside the main body. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is used to characterize the velocity field along the cylindrical body. Pressure drop is measured between the inlet flow and the gas outlet with the aid of a differential pressure transducer. The objective of the present investigation is to assess the influence of the internal components on pressure drop, on velocity field and on the general performance of the separator.
