Working Principles of Dust Collection Equipment Filter Bags
Dust collection equipment filter bags operate through the combined action of multiple principles to achieve efficient purification of dusty gases:
1. Sieving Effect
The filter bag functions like a sieve with a specific pore size. When dusty gas passes through, dust particles larger than the pore size of the filter bag cannot penetrate and are directly intercepted on the surface of the filter bag. For example, in some wood – processing workshops, large wood chips are intercepted by sieving.
2. Inertial Impaction
When the dusty gas stream passes through the filter bag, the direction of the gas flow changes. Larger – mass dust particles, due to inertia, cannot change direction in time along with the gas flow and will collide with the fibers of the filter bag and be captured. In steel mills, during the high – temperature smelting process, large – sized dust particles are intercepted by inertial impaction when the gas passes through the filter bag.
3. Interception Effect
Some dust particles slightly smaller than the pore size of the filter bag, when brought close to the filter bag fibers by the gas flow, will be directly intercepted by the fibers. It’s similar to how small objects in a narrow passage are easily blocked by obstacles beside them.
4. Diffusion Effect
For extremely fine dust particles, they will perform irregular Brownian motion under the influence of the thermal motion of gas molecules, which increases the chance of contacting and being adsorbed by the filter bag fibers. In chemical production, some fine dust is captured by the filter bag through the diffusion effect.
5. Electrostatic Adsorption
Some filter bag materials generate static electricity during friction with dust, or they already carry static electricity. Dust particles will be adsorbed onto the filter bag due to electrostatic attraction, enhancing the filtration effect. For example, some filter bags specially used to handle flammable dust often utilize the principle of electrostatic adsorption to improve dust removal efficiency.
These principles work in concert, enabling the filter bags of dust collection equipment to effectively purify dusty gases, ensuring a clean production environment and the normal operation of equipment.
