Figure 4-3. Hydrocyclone Spray Patterns
Spray Pattern Versus Performance
The three spray patterns are interpreted as follows:
Spray angle greater than 30° with a hollow center. In normal operation, this
pattern is undesirable. This spray pattern indicates that the exit diameter of
the apex is too large, and an excessive amount of liquid discharges along
with the solids flowing from the bottom of the cone.
Correct this condition by tightening triangular nut (turning clockwise)
until desired spray profile is achieved.
Spray angle in the range of 20° to 30° with a hollow center. In normal
operation, this pattern is desirable.
No adjustment is required.
Spray angle less than 20° with a hollow center. In normal operation, this
pattern is undesirable. This spray pattern indicates exit diameter of the apex
is too small, the solids discharge is too dry, and an excessive solids are
being discharged with the liquid from the upper discharge.
Correct this condition by loosening triangular nut (turning
counterclockwise) until desired spray profile is achieved.
