The advanced type of cyclone was applied to separate wood particulate matter from the air. The cyclone was designed in the laboratory of Vilnius TECH. A series of experimental studies was conducted both in the lab and under industrial conditions. These studies aimed to specify the air velocity and aerodynamic resistance in the experimental and pilot six-channel cyclone with spiral casings and curvilinear semi-rings. Air treatment efficiency was also determined. The highest air treatment efficiency achieved using experimental cyclone was 91.4%, while the pilot cyclone achieved an efficiency of 94. 5%. The industrial and experimental cyclones were found to have similar air treatment efficiency

Experimental analysis is conducted in order to estimate the distribution of air (gas) flow velocity in the advanced six-channel cyclone with spiral shell, and to measure the resistance and purifying effectiveness of the cyclone with spiral shell. The device is used for separating the minuscule solid particles from contaminated air (gas) flow. The multifunctional measuring instrument TESTO-452 with the attachedPito-Prandtltube was used for carrying out the experiments. The air (gas) velocity in all six-cyclone channels, the resistance of six-channel cyclone with spiral shell and the effectiveness of air (gas) flow purification, depending on the position of curvilinear semi-rings and the average air (gas) flow velocity in the cyclone channels, were measured during the experiments.
