Formulas used in designing
The filtering surface (SF) given in m2 is estimated using the following expression:
SF [ m 2 ]= 0 . 26⋅F⋅c 0 .18 +350⋅φ−0 .5
Where:
F = gas flow at 25 °C given in m3/min
c = concentration of dust given in g/m3
φ = average diameter of the particle, in μm
For example, con F=700 m3/min , c = 40 g/m3, φ = 50 μm :
SF [ m 2 ] =[ 0 . 26⋅7 00⋅( 40)0 . 18 ]+ [ 350⋅( 50 )−0. 5 ]=403 m 2
Volume occupied by the filter (m3) = 0.33 · SF; 133 m3 for the examp
Consumption of compressed air (Nm3/h) = 0.215 · SF; 87 Nm3/h for the exa
Surface occupied by the filter (m2) = 0.047 · SF; 19 m2 for the example
In case the values of “c” and “φ” are unkown, an appropriate expression is:
SF [ m2 ]≈0 . 014⋅Q , Q must be given in Nm3 /h
