Why are Pulse Valve used?

In almost all industries, dust and particulates come with the job. But if they aren’t effectively removed or collected, these contaminants can harm workers and damage equipment. From automotive to concrete and mining to pharmaceuticals and beyond, facilities depend on dust collectors to improve air quality for employees and machinery. By providing clean air that is essential to a safe working environment, a dust collector’s performance and efficiency directly affect a facility’s overall efficiency. Because of this importance, OEMs and end-users constantly seek new ways to improve these systems. Specifying components with beneficial qualities and features makes a difference.

But which components can make the biggest impact? Let’s think about how dust collectors work.

As a dust collector operates, its filters catch dust. This accumulated dust forms a dense cake that can block filters and decrease system efficiency. In reverse pulse jet dust collectors, a reverse jet bag filter cleaning system delivers a burst of compressed air that sends a shockwave through the filters, breaking up dust cakes. The dust then falls out of the collector and into a hopper. By effectively clearing dust from filters, this system improves filter and overall system efficiency, and extends filter life. In a practical example, most aggregate applications use a dust collection system to collect aggregate particulates produced from crushed limestone. The collected particulates are then sold in bulk for a significant return of investment, which is one of the many ways the aggregates industry maximizes efficiency and maintains quality. The crushed limestone dust particulates are then used to produce a byproduct called self-consolidating concrete. This resulting concrete mixture has a higher flow rate, and its coarse aggregates don’t separate from the cement’s adhesive properties. This helps to keep the concrete strong while making it easier to work with in many different construction applications.

Dust Collector Efficiency

The number of pulse valve needed depends on dust collector size. Some dust collectors may have a few, while others can each have 50 or more. But no matter how many pulse valves a dust collector has, they operate in much the same way: A line of pulse valves activates in sequence to remove dust from filters. The pulse frequency depends on application needs. Credit to Source. Link to Catalogue
