<b>Abstract</b>— <p>Vortex-type devices play an important role in the enhancement of many industrial processes. The implementation of vortex-type devices can be of use in increasing the productivity of technological installations in the chemical and related industries, reducing overall dimensions, significantly enhancing the processes taking place in the devices, and increasing process efficiency and product quality. The paper considers the advantages of using vortex-type devices for particle separation, since they have a high separation capacity, as well as for implementing heat- and mass-transfer processes, for example, cooling of recycled water at thermal power plants. At the same time, each specific device requires conducting research before it is implemented into production aimed at studying the operating conditions with specific diverse media. An analysis of the available designs has shown that the problem of selecting a device for conducting a specific industrial process is complicated by the distinctive features of dispersed medium flows (liquid or solid). The paper considers the special features of the dispersed phase used in various devices, which should be taken into account when choosing the design of vortex-type devices. The proposed selection scheme for choosing vortex-type devices of various types takes into account the features of their application. The paper considers designs of separators with modified bent profile inserts, inclined plates in the intertubular space, a block-type separator in two modifications of the rear surface, as well as a multivortex separator and a vortex chamber with a spray device. The advantages, disadvantages, and rational scope of application of the developed vortex-type devices in the chemical technology production processes are analyzed. Recommendations are given on the preferred choice of structural designs of separators with a vortex flow structure.</p>
