Abstract

In this study, the effects of various parameters of the filter bag cleaning system, such as the blow tube size (20A, 40A, 50A), the nozzle diameter (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 mm), the initial tank pressure (0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 MPa), and the pulse duration (50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 ms), were evaluated with a view of peak pressure and pressure impulse. This study shows that the peak pressure and pressure impulse are not always in a proportional relationship, since pressure impulse aggregates static pressure and pressure over elapsed time together. For the system investigated, it is found that increasing the blow tube size and pulse duration induce a larger pressure impulse with little change in peak pressure, while higher initial tank pressure enhances both peak pressure and pressure impulse. On the other hand, a larger nozzle diameter was found to increase peak pressure rather than pressure impulse throughout the bag. The experimental results suggest that a higher initial tank pressure is a convenient way to elevate the overall dust-cleaning performance of pulse-jet systems, while other parameters (blow tube size, nozzle diameter, initial tank pressure) can be adopted according to the desired effect for given environment.
