1.0 Description
1.1 General Information
The Type N RotoClone is a complete dust control unit. Designed
to perform its various functions automatically, the RotoClone requires
very little maintenance. Like any other mechanical equipment,
however, it should have regular attention and be operated according
to instructions to insure long life and trouble-free service.
1.2 Operating Principle
The Model LV RotoClone collector cleans the air by the combined
action of centrifugal force and a violent inter-mixing of water and dust-
laden air. The dust is separated from the gas stream by means of a
water curtain created by the high velocity flow of air through a
stationary impeller (see Figure 1). This high velocity flow carries water
with it in a heavy turbulent sheet. The centrifugal force exerted by the
rapid changes in direction of air flow causes the dust particles to
penetrate the water droplets and become permanently trapped within
them (Figure 1).
The dust-laden water droplets are then removed from the air stream
by the water eliminator. The dust settles in the bottom of the collector
and the water is reused. Since the water curtain is produced by the
airflow, no pumps or nozzles are required.
2.0 Installation Instructions
