Several important characteristics of dust to consider before selecting the filter air velocity for a pulse jet dust collector
To understand the particle size distribution of dust, the particle size is its fundamental characteristic, consisting of a collection of particles with various sizes. Simply using the average particle size to characterize this collection is insufficient.
2. To understand the viscosity of dust, viscosity refers to the attractive force between dust particles or between dust particles and the surface of an object. For bag dust collectors, the impact of viscosity is more pronounced, as dust removal efficiency and filtration resistance largely depend on the collector's ability to remove dust from the filter material.
3. It is essential to understand the bulk density or particle density of dust, which refers to the weight of dust per unit volume. This includes the volume of the dust particles themselves, the volume of air adsorbed on the surface of the particles, the micro-pores within the particles, and the voids between particles. Clarifying the bulk density of dust is significant for dust extraction ventilation, as it is closely related to the dust cleaning performance.
4. It is crucial to understand the properties of dusty gases, such as temperature, humidity content, chemical composition, and characteristics. The determination of these parameters is directly and indirectly related to dust removal additional treatment measures and the selection of filtration air velocity. For instance, if the dusty gas contains certain chemical components like halides, these halides tend to absorb moisture easily. Failing to take additional precautions could lead to "caking" of the filter bags.
The smaller the dust particle size, the lower the filtration air velocity; the higher the dust concentration in the exhaust gas, the lower the filtration air velocity; the higher the exhaust gas temperature, the lower the filtration air velocity. Therefore, it can be approximately considered that the filtration air velocity is inversely proportional to the exhaust gas temperature and dust concentration. Since the three variables of exhaust gas temperature, dust concentration, and dust particle size are mutually independent, the joint probability density of any independent random variable is equal to the product of their respective probability densities, so we can believe that the comprehensive relationship between the filtration air velocity and the exhaust gas temperature, dust concentration, and particle size is the product of their individual independent relationships.
Low filter wind speed requires a corresponding increase in the filter area and volume of the dust collector, thereby increasing the equipment's footprint and the investment issue; high filter wind speed allows for a reduction in filter area and volume, decreasing the footprint and investment.
