Long-term operation of pulse-jet filters for wood dust

Long-term operation of pulse-jet filters for wood dust. The study specifies the value of flow resistance and separation efficiency of filter material during long-term use in pulse-jet filters for wood dust. The experiments were carried out for one type of material working in two different filtration installations in one furniture factory. The bags were obtained from the installations after working for 67, 133 and 272 days, respectively. All tests were performed on the pilot-scale test stand under identical filtration conditions. Studies have shown that long-term filter material use increases airflow resistance and improves filtration efficiency. The range of these changes depends on the operating conditions of the pulse-jet filters. The obtained results made it possible to determine the properties of the long-term use of filter materials in various filtration conditions.
