Core Filtration Mechanisms of Dust Filter Bags
As the core component of bag dust collectors, the efficiency of dust filter bags relies on the synergistic effect of multiple filtration mechanisms. When dusty gas passes through the filter material, dust particles are captured through the following processes:
First is the sieving effect. When the diameter of dust particles exceeds the pores between filter material fibers or the gaps in the dust layer, the particles are directly intercepted on the surface of the filter bag. New filter bags have larger fiber gaps, resulting in insignificant sieving effects initially. However, as the dust layer gradually forms, this effect becomes increasingly prominent, evolving into one of the primary filtration mechanisms.
Next is the inertial impaction effect. For dust particles larger than 1 micron in diameter, high-speed airflow causes them to deviate from the streamline due to inertia, directly colliding with the filter bag fibers and being trapped. This effect is more pronounced at higher gas velocities, but excessive velocity may damage the filter bag and reduce dust removal efficiency.
The diffusion effect primarily targets tiny dust particles (smaller than 0.2 microns). These particles undergo Brownian motion due to collisions with gas molecules, increasing their chance of contacting fibers and being adsorbed. Unlike inertial impaction, the diffusion effect is more significant at lower gas velocities, and finer fibers enhance the trapping efficiency.
Additionally, gravitational sedimentation and electrostatic effects play auxiliary roles. Large, high-density dust particles settle naturally under gravity. When dust and filter bag materials carry opposite charges, the adsorption force increases, improving dust removal efficiency but potentially complicating ash cleaning. Conversely, identical charges reduce adsorption but facilitate dust detachment.
The combined action of these mechanisms enables dust filter bags to efficiently purify air, meeting the environmental protection requirements of various industrial scenarios. Optimizing the material, structure, and gas velocity of filter bags can further enhance their performance, achieving more stable dust removal results.
