Which has a greater pressure drop, the rough spin or the single spin in the catalytic settler? Are there any design requirements?
It’s generally 5–10 kPa, I guess.
Our spin-forming pressure drop is generally around 8-15 kPa, with a linear speed of 16-21 m/s. You can take a look as a reference
The rough centrifugal pressure drop is low while the top centrifugal force is high, because the higher the linear velocity at the inlet in a centrifuge used for separating finer particles, the greater this effect is. About 3–5 for the rough rotation, and 4–8 kPa for the top rotation.
It’s all due to design pressure drop, right? In practical operation, there are significant variations depending on the operating conditions; in some cases, catalyst leakage occurs due to problems with the feed legs or flap valves, which result in large pressure drops
