Online Pulse Jet Bag Filters
In an online bag filter, bags are cleaned row
by row, even when the dust laden gas is filtered. The sequence of cleaning is
controlled automatically by a sequence controller. This operates the assembly
of solenoid and pulse valves which direct the air flow into the manifolds. The
holes are jig drilled for perfect alignment with the venturi centre for
achieving maximum cleaning efficiency.
Offline Pulse Jet Bag Filters
This mode incorporates the advantages of pulse
jet bag filters, as well as that of a reverse air bag house. Each compartment
is similar to an online pulse jet bag filter. The cleaning process consists of
sequentially isolating each compartment and cleaning it with compressed air.
All compartments are then cleaned automatically. Offline cleaning is suitable
for light and fine dust, and for larger volumes where the occurrence of
fluidisation is a distinct possibility.
The offline bag filter contains 4 to 6 bag
filter compartments. Each compartment is similar to online bag filter. Gas flow
through a compartment is stopped temporarily when the pulse cleaning of the
bags is to be done. The dust dislodged from bags settles quickly in the hoppers
because of absence of gas movement in the bag filter compartment. During this
time the remaining compartments keep filtering the gases as usual. Each
compartment is cleaned one after another in same manner.
The starting and stopping of gas flow through
individual compartments is achieved through a compact pneumatic damper system.
Generally the offline bag filter is employed for larger gas volumes.
