| Summary: | The article deals with the problem of increasing the efficiency of dedusting the gas flow from the finely dispersed particles smaller than 10 μm. In order to solve this problem, a design of centrifugal separator with coaxially arranged pipes is proposed. The described principle of operation includes the large values of centrifugal forces, which take place inside the device when the flow is swirled, and these forces throw the finely dispersed particles to the walls of device. This scientific paper shows a numerical simulation of gas flow dedusting process by means of ANSYS Fluent software package. The efficiency of dedusting the gas from the finely dispersed particles of up to 10 μm in the device is on average within the range of 53.8–76.7%. The exponential function, describing the changes in the pressure loss from the input gas rate, is obtained. In the course of studies, it was found that the pressure loss in the device is not more than 800 Pa at the input gas rate from 3 to 19 m/s.
