    摘要: Disclosed is a hydrocyclone monitoring system. The hydrocyclone monitoring system comprises a hydrocyclone comprising a separation chamber having an inlet for feeding an input mixture into the separation chamber and first and second outlets for ejecting flows of 5 respective first and second components of the mixture from the separation chamber. The hydrocyclone monitoring system further comprises a conduit and a sensor assembly. The conduit is connected to the first outlet and defines a channel for conducting the flow of the first component ejected from the separation chamber. The sensor assembly is configured to detect characteristics of the flow of the first component in the channel. The hydrocyclone 10 monitoring system further comprises a processing system configured to receive from the sensor assembly measurement data indicative of the characteristics of the flow of the first component, and to determine a mode of operation of the hydrocyclone based on the measurement data. Also disclosed is a method of monitoring a hydrocyclone.

    摘要: The chamber (29A) of the overflow outlet control device (21A) has an inner circumferential surface which, when viewed in cross-sectional plan view, is generally in the shape of a volute, for directing material entering the chamber (29A) via the circular inlet (34) at the base portion (36) tangentially outward towards the discharge outlet (22A) located in the side wall (38). The top wall region (40) of the interior wall of the chamber (29A), a side wall portion (32) and base portion (36) together seamlessly form the chamber (29A) which is curved in shape internally. When material flows in use between the inlet (34) and the discharge outlet (22A), and passes through the central chamber (29A), it encounters no sharp corners or edges, but just smoothly curved or rounded interior wall surfaces. The top wall region (40) of the chamber (29A) also features a protruding flow control formation (42) which is joined or formed therewith, and which is arranged to extend into the chamber (29A), being directed face towards the inlet (34) such that in use the flow of material into the chamber (29A) via the inlet (34) directly encounters the formation (42).

    摘要: A part-conical section (20,22) for use as part of a separation chamber (14) of a hydrocyclone (10) is described. The part-conical section comprises: an upper end defining internal and external diameters and including an upper mount (44,48); a lower end defining smaller internal and external diameters than the upper end, and including a lower mount (46,50); and a side-wall (26) defining an internal passageway (28) along a fluid transport axis (30) and an external surface. The internal passageway extends from the upper end to the lower end and defines a radially-inward tapering portion with respect to the fluid transport axis, and a non-inwardly-tapering portion with respect to the fluid transport axis. The tapering portion extends from the upper end to the non-inwardly-tapering portion, and the non-inwardly-tapering portion extends from a narrow end of the tapering portion to the lower end. A spigot (24) and a hydrocyclone (10) are also described.
