Introduction to Baghouse / Fabric

Filters: Design Criteria
Ideal air-to-cloth ratios for fabric 눛�lters:

• Reverse Gas 1.75:1 – 2.50:1

• Pulse Jet 3.25:1 – 4.00:1

• Shaker 2.0:1 – 2.50:1

P/J System Recommendations

• High and hi-hi hopper level indicators

 Vacuum breaks for top access door
•

• Inlet injection ports for pre-coat and leak dye

• Lay-down area for bags and cage storage

• Redundant compressed air systems

• Quality compressed air dryers

P/J Can Velocity

• Air volume

• Compartment area (LxW = ft2, measured at bottom of bags

• Bag area (# of bags x area of bag bottom = ft2)

• Open area (collector area – bag bottom area)

• Can velocity = (air volume ÷ open area)

• Typical P/J can velocity: 200-400 feet per min

R/A System Recommendations

• Quality isolation dampers and actuators (poppet type)

• High and hi-hi hopper level indicators

 Vacuum breaks for top access door

• Inlet injection ports for pre-coat and leak dye

• Lay-down area for bags and cage storage

• Redundant reverse air fans

• Reverse air recirculation system

• Piping for acoustic horns even if not initially installed

Instrumentation Functions

• Differential pressure for entire baghouse and individual

compartments

• Inlet and outlet temperature (dew points)

• Emission monitoring for individual compartments (broken

bag detectors)

• Reverse gas temperature and pressure

• Compressed air PSI, temp, and ῎�ow rate

• Damper positions

• Acoustic horn sounding time and PSI

• High and hi-hi hopper level indicators
