Predictive Model For The Pulse Pressure In A Pulse-Jet Fabric Filter, Satoru Mitsutomi Jun 1986

Predictive Model For The Pulse Pressure In A Pulse-Jet Fabric Filter, Satoru Mitsutomi

Doctoral Dissertations

Pulse-jet cleaned fabric filters are being utilized to filter dust from particulate laden gas streams. The pulse-jet fabric filter consists of a reservoir, a solenoid valve, a lateral pipe and a venturi/bag. The compressed air is released periodically through a solenoid valve and fills the lateral pipe. Then high velocity air is ejected from a series of orifices on the lateral pipe. As a result, the bag is rapidly inflated and dust is dislodged from the bag.

A predictive model for the pulse pressure in a pulse-jet fabric filter has been developed. Two types of models are presented: Simplified Static …
