1. Introduction
From the very beginning of emersion of scrubbers before engineers there was a problem - to predict parametres of work of the apparatus before drawings will be given to manufacture. In apparatuses of rotational act the problem became complicated that critical parametres of their work (resistance, efficiency, an input, etc.) are defined by a picture of a current of streams in the setting. The current of a stream of multiphase Wednesday so difficult that a unique reliable method of research in hydrodynamics remains till now experiment. Only last years essential progress in creation of simulars and calculation of currents of multiphase Wednesdays has been attained. Modelling allows to carry out calculation with high reliability of the results, therefore the necessary volume of experiments in many cases is reduced to a minimum.

2. Geometrical Model Making
The first stage of preparation of initial data for current calculation - creation of the solid-state geometrical model simulating volume in which there is an investigated current [1-5]. 3D the apparatus model has been executed in a package of solid-state modelling Solid Works (fig. 1), and then imported in Ansys Design Modeler.

Actuating medium sampling
In a dynamic scrubber in the capacity of operating fluid water viscosity ^ = 1 □ 103 newton • second/m2 was used; dusty gas with pg=1,291 density of dusty gas, kg/m3; for a corpuscle of a quartz dust (p = 2600 kg/m3) diameter d=1^150 a micron, moving in air stream (V = 5,1v35^10-6 m2/s). In entry conditions for calculation magnitude of an ambient pressure and ambient temperature is set. Magnitude of external (surrounding) pressure makes 1atm., temperature of ambient air 250 C.

For short circuit of system of the equations the two-parametric model of turbulence k - e, as one of the most well proved models for calculation of currents such is used. At turbulence modelling it was used k - e model, for it dares two additional transport equations for the purpose of definition k - a turbulent kinetic energy and e -turbulent energy of a dissipation.

Calculations show that near to firm walls there is a change of parametres k and e. For the appropriate permission of these changes it is necessary to use rather dense desing grid.
Results of numerical experiment
As a result of numerical experiment distributions of static pressure of a gas stream in all cross-sections of desing space that has allowed to size up an apparatus hydraulic resistance are had.
It is necessary to pay attention that in separated flows the underpressure both in comparison with a main stream, and in a zone of guide vanes of an air swirler is observed. Irregularity of static making pressures in a scrubber has reducing an effect on efficiency of clearing. By comparison to empirical data on separation efficiency it is revealed that decrease in efficiency of separation does not exceed 1 %, though on level of irregularity of a pressure pattern a difference more appreciable. It is pos-

sible to explain it to that irregularity of pressure is compensated by positive effect of presence of the separated flows promoting branch of small corpuscles of a dust from a main stream in zones of a rarefaction and their removal on a helicoid path from working space, and further on walls of a conic part of the apparatus in the sludge remover. On apparatus altitude high enough energy of turbulent pulsations remains, it leads to the best dispersion of corpuscles in a stream and to increase in efficiency of separation.
In the course of research following paramétrés
varied:
Fig. 3- Static component of pressure
The total pressure of a gas-dispersed stream in the apparatus body increases to periphery (fig. 3). On discharge connections pressure drops to the atmospheric.
3. Dynamic Spray Scrubber Experimental Researches
On the basis of the analysis of builds of modern apparatuses for gas clearing the dynamic spray scrubber build is devised. The apparatus is supplied by twirled air swirler and the central pipe for irrigation water supply. A centrifugal force originating at twirl of a rotor, secures with liquid crushing on microfogs that causes intensive contact of gases and trapped corpuscles to a liquid. Thanks to act of a centrifugal force, intensive mixing of gas and a liquid and presence of the big interface of contact, there is an effective clearing of gas in a bubble column [9].
Researches of a hydraulic resistance of a scrubber with an air swirler in altitude 0,25 metre were studied on experimental installation (fig. 4). Magnitude of hydraulic losses was defined on a difference of static pressure of a gas stream before and after a rotor.

• An angle of installation of blades a = 0^65 °
The analysis of results of experiment
The analysis of the gained results has allowed to install that growth of magnitude of a specific irrigation in the apparatus at the expense of increase in altitude of a torch of a sprayed liquid does not render considerable effect on a water resistance. This results from the fact that essential impact makes on head losses speed of a gas stream and extent of overlapping by a liquid of a contact zone of the apparatus, thus generated in a zone of an air swirler the formation of a stream does not undergo change at its current along angular co-ordinate. Liquid phase effect on a scrubber water resistance was investigated at speed of gas in the twisting device 5^20 mps, relations of mass flow rates of water and gas L/G=0,1^1,5. The altitude of a spray of a liquid is equal 0,15 m.
The essential contribution to the total head losses originating at increase of altitude of a spray of the irrigating liquid is brought in by the losses connected with expenses of energy of a gas stream on transport of a liquid in a zone of twirled guide vanes. Thus with growth of area of an irrigation these losses will increase. The analysis of results of the experiment, presented on (fig. 5), has shown that the water resistance of the irrigated apparatus at low relative loadings L/G drops in comparison with a water resistance of the dry apparatus. Water resistance decrease speaks decrease of tangential making speed of gas. At the maximum relative loadings L/G water resistance growth that is connected with expenses originating in the course of work for liquid phase transport is observed.

During experiments it is installed that at a stopping delivery of an irrigating liquid the water resistance gets not at once value of the dry apparatus, and adopts a value 0,8 • AP, and only at disposal of water of a midwall of the apparatus and air swirler guide vanes, the water resistance accepts values of the dry apparatus.

sistance decrease can be proved salutary affecting of a drop layer on a surface of guide vanes of an air swirler, friction decrease about apparatus walls, and as suppression of turbulent pulsations of a gas stream by drops of liquid [6].
4. Method Preparation Of Calculation Of The Hydraulic Resistance
In terms of liquid phase effects
The hydraulic resistance in terms of liquid phase effects can be expressed the pressure differential sum. Such differences will develop of the resistance originating at motion of gas in the dry apparatus and a pressure, which is necessary for informing a gas stream to compensate resistance on transport of a fluid-flow stream, i.e.:
AP — APdry + APir (5)
Or on the equation of Darsi:
2
AP — ^-V 2
^ — £dry +4 Çdry - factor of resistance of not irrigated apparatus; Çir -coefficient of resistance, in terms of the changes which are brought in by an irrigation.
The gained expressions for definition of hydraulic losses of the dry apparatus and losses on liquid phase transport allow to design a water resistance in an investigated range of loadings on phases.
In terms of rotor twirls
At rotor twirl the investigated air swirler represents the centrifugal fan vane wheel rotor.
The formula of theoretical pressure (6), in terms of (7), will register as [8, 10]

Fig. 6 - Roll forming of guide vanes of an air swirler
The gas stream in a dynamic spray scrubber air swirler moves from periphery to its centre. Therefore the gas stream should overcome except a hydraulic resistance of motionless feeding, also the pressure created by twirled air swirler in the assumption of a return current of gas through it. At such assumption, considering following relationships (fig. 6).

5. Clearing Of Gases Of A Dust In The Industry
The had results hardware in manufacture of roasting of limestone at conducting of redesign of system of an aspiration of smoke gases of baking ovens. The devised scrubber is applied to clearing of smoke gases of baking ovens of limestone in the capacity of a closing stage of clearing.
Temperature of gases of baking ovens in main flue gas breeching before a copper-utilizatorom 500-600°C, after exhaust-heat boiler 250 °C. An average chemical compound of smoke gases (by volume): 17%C02; 16%N2; 67 % CO. Besides, in gas contains to 70 mg/m3 S02; 30 mg/m3 H2S; 200 mg/m3 F and 20 mg/m3 CI. The gas dustiness on an exit from the converter reaches to 200/m3 the Dust, as well as at a fume extraction with carbonic oxide after-burning, consists of the same components, but has the different maintenance of oxides of iron. In it than 1 micron, than in the dusty gas formed at after-burning of carbonic oxide contains less corpuscles a size less. It is possible to explain it to that at after-burning CO raises temperatures of gas and there is an additional excess in steam of oxides. Carbonic oxide before a gas heading on clearing burn in the special chamber. The dustiness of the cleared blast-furnace gas should be no more than 4 mg/m3.
The following circuit design (fig. 7) is applied to clearing of the blast-furnace gas of a dust.
Fig. 7 - Process flowsheet of clearing of gas emissions: 1 - bake roasting; 2 - water block; 3 - raiser; 4 -downtaking duct, 5 - centrifugal scrubber; 6-scrubber dynamic; 7 - forecastle of gathering of sludge, 8 - hydraulic hitch, 9 - chimney
Gas from a furnace mouth of a baking oven 1 on gas pipes 3 and 4 is taken away in the gas-cleaning plant. In raiser and downtaking duct gas is chilled, and the largest corpuscles of a dust which in the form of sludge are trapped in the inertia sludge remover are inferred from it. In a centrifugal scrubber 5 blast-furnace gas is cleared of a coarse dust to final dust content 5^10/m3 the Dust drained from the deduster loading pocket periodically from a feeding system of water or steam for dust moistening. The final cleaning of the blast-furnace gas is carried out in a dynamic spray scrubber where there is an integration of a finely divided dust. Most the coarse dust and drops of liquid are inferred from gas in the inertia mist eliminator. The cleared gas is taken away in a collecting channel of pure gas 9, whence is fed in an aerosphere. The clarified sludge from a gravitation filter is fed again on irrigation of apparatuses. The closed cycle of supply of an irrigation water to what in the capacity of irrigations the lime milk close on the physical and chemical properties to composition of dusty gas is applied is implemented. As a result of implementation of trial installation clearings of gas emissions the maximum dustiness of the gases which are thrown out in an aerosphere, has decreased with 3950 mg/m3 to 840 mg/m3, and total emissions of a dust from sources of limy manufacture were scaled down about 4800 to/a to 1300 to/a. Such method gives the chance to make gas clearing in much smaller quantity, demands smaller capital and operational expenses, reduces an atmospheric pollution and allows to use water recycling system.
