Software service streamlines industrial cyclone design
Last September, this company launched a secure cloud-based software service that enables users to design and build cyclones. Developed by subsidiary Heumann Software Company, the High Efficiency Cyclone Calculator — or HECyclone for short — represents the first of a suite of secure and validated software services for companies whose operations incorporate reverse flow cyclones. HECyclone provides precise cyclone performance modeling — from the prediction of cyclone pressure drop, to quantifying the impact that dimensional changes can have on the separation efficiency over the full range of particle sizes, to calculating overall total collection efficiency from a known particulate size distribution (photo). Through its easy-to-use interface, users can select a cyclone model and provide the conditions for its use. — Heumann Environmental Company LLC, Jeffersonville, Ind.
