The key factors that affect the number of cyclone stages in a preheater kiln system are the throughput and moisture content of raw materials and fuels. More stages are generally needed for higher throughput or moisture. The pressure drop is also affected by the number of stages.

The main factors are the throughput and moisture content of the raw materials and fuels, which have to be dried by the remaining exhaust gas heat. More stages are generally used for higher throughput or moisture.

According to affinity laws, the pressure, flow and power change with RPM. The flow is directly proportional to RPM. The pressure increases as the square of RPM. And the power increases as the cube of RPM.

What are the factors affecting the number of cyclone stages in preheater kiln system?

As a rule, the throughput and moisture content of the raw materials and fuels, which have to be dried by the remaining exhaust gas
whether 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 cyclone stages are used. 

Pressure drops in 6 stages preheater are comparable to or even less than that in a 4 stage preheater of old designs because in old desi
pressure drop was 50 to 55mbar which is even now greater than 6 stage.
