Abstract

The cyclone is one of the key equipment in the high-pressure (2.0~3.0 MPa) Coal Ash-Agglomerated Gasification (CAGG) units. Based on the stress classification method and the design-by-analysis rule, using numerical simulation and ANSYS software, calculation and analysis have been carried out on a cyclone which has rectangular vortex inlet and flat head. The comparative studies have been made for those which have different quantities of stiffened plates. Conclusion can be drawn that the application of stiffened plates is a good option to improve top head stress distribution.
