Designation of Cyclone Models UCM-38-XXX
- U — Unified.
- C — Cyclone of the VNIIz design.
- M — Modernized.
- 38 — angle of the inlet pipe to the horizon (in degrees).
- XXX — diameter of the cylindrical part of the cyclone in mm.
The modernized cyclone UCM-38 differs from UC-38 by having a spiral-screw shaped swirl generator. This design made it possible to increase the cyclone’s efficiency and reduce its aerodynamic resistance.
