Recently, when describing household appliances, a cyclone filter for a vacuum cleaner is often mentioned. What it is? Comparison with the natural phenomenon is not accidental, since the technology was developed in accordance with controlled cyclone modeling.

What is a cyclone filter for a vacuum cleaner?

The basis of the cyclone filter operation is centrifugal force. When sucked by a vacuum cleaner, the dust acquires an impulse to the spiral motion, similar to the action of a tornado.Particles of dust fall into a special container, bypassing several stages of filtration.The first stage of cleaning is aimed at keeping large particles of dust and dirt, the second - in small. Between the two stages is a plate serving as an object of intermediate filtration.

Scope of application

The principle of tornadoes was most widely used in everyday life in the integration of this filtration system in vacuum cleaners. It should be noted that devices equipped with cyclone filtration have some limitations in the field of application:

• suitable only for dry cleaning;
• poorly clean the pile coating;
• suction power in most models is not regulated;
• some filters are designed for frequent regular replacement.

The efficiency of cyclone filtration of air does not exceed the threshold of 97%, such a system is not capable of delaying pollution, the diameter of which is not more than 5 microns.

Benefits

At the same time, vacuum cleaners equipped with a cyclone filter have a number of advantages:

• allow to do without bags-dust collectors;
• have a high suction power;
• noiseless;
• are compact;
• convenient.

Thus, the natural technology applied in everyday life, provided it is reasonably used, is substantially facilitates the cleaning process and due to the lack of the need to often throw away bags of dust makes it more pleasant. It is important to note that vacuum cleaners with a cyclone filter are somewhat more expensive than their classical counterparts.
