Here’s How Cyclonic Filtration Works
Dirty liquid enters the cyclone at the inlet orifice (1) of the cyclonic chamber (3).
The shape and tangential location of the orifice develop a downward, spiraling
flow of the liquid. This is called the primary whirl (4) which follows the chamber
walls downward, developing centrifugal force of up to 7500 times that of gravity.
This same force spins out the solid particles
to 5 microns, or .00019” diameter from the
liquid. The solid particles (often referred to as
swarf) strike the wall and slide down to the
discharge orifice (7).
A throttling effect in the lower cyclonic
chamber (6) reverses the descent of the
liquid but not the rotation. This forms the
secondary whirl (5), a rising, spiraling flow of
cleaned liquid that passes up through the
primary whirl to the whirl searcher (2).
The diameter of the whirl searcher is smaller
than the secondary whirl, and the whirl
searcher accepts only the center of the
upward, secondary whirl flow.
The outside portion of the secondary whirl
(containing impurities missed by the primary
whirl) is diverted back to the primary whirl for
further cleansing. This double cleansing
action is significant to the efficiency of the
Encyclon Cyclonic Filtration Systems.
Liquid that passes through the whirl searcher
is then piped out to the clean water storage
tank or can be directly used with 5 micron
filtration with 98% efficiency.
There are no filter media to clog or replace.
Encyclon aerates water to check anaerobic
bacterial growth.
