Application

Most industrial processes generate dust. This

dust may profitably be removed for pollution
abatement and material recovery purposes.

FLS Central Jet Pulse filters are modular bag

filters in which the dust-laden air enters through
the base or side of the casing, and is evenly
distributed between the filter bags. The dust is
deposited on the outside of the needle felt bags,
while the air passes through the felt into the clean
air chamber at the top of the casing before
release in the atmosphere. The bags are cleaned
by the injection of an ultra- short burst of air.

The dust dislodged from the bags either fails

direct into a silo (bunker filter), or into the
bottom-hopper for return to the production
process via an air lock.

The air jet burst cleans each row of bags in turn.

The blast is triggered by the electronic control
unit based on the pressure drop across
Design and operation
the filter. This operating principle causes a constant
flow and pressure drop, and implies that the dust-
removing frequency is adapted to the current dust-
load. This method minimises the risk of clogging in
the pipe system, and also increases the lifetime of
the bags by cleaning only when necessary. The
preset level for jet pulse release is in most cases
l25mm WG but other levels may also be applied.
The filter module comprises 3, 4 or 5 rows, each
with 7 cylindrical bags mounted on wire cages 3 m
in length and 120 mm in diameter. The filtration area
is thus 1.15 m2 per bag.
Dedusting capacity is 80—180 m /h per M filtration

area according to dust type and operating condi-
tions.
FLS Jet Pulse Filter, Type CE 1 comprises 1, 2,4 or 6
basic modules, Type CE 2, an even number of 8-20
modules and Type CE 3 an even number of 22-36
modules. The three types have individual designs
of air intake.
Type CE 1 has a pyramid-shaped bottom-hop-
per while Types CE 2 and CE 3 have trough-
shaped hoppers. In all three types replacement of
bags is effected from the top of the casing (the
clean air chamber).
All types of industrial dust can be handled. Filters
for coal have special features to prevent explo-
sions and fires. The filter is designed to give
trouble-free operation 24 hours a day and requires
a minimum of maintenance.
Filter operati on costs are very often offset by the
value of the material recovered. Further more,
effective dedusting averts shutdowns, while the
reduction in industrial pollution should be
considered in each case.
The type designations are CE 1, CE 2, and CE 3
(CEntral installation) followed by size specification
digits indicating number of modules and number
of solenoid valves, respectively.
