 Process air velocity control

• Central Jet Distributor is equipped with velocity

control sleeve

• With adjustable sleeve the outlet discharge

velocity of oxygen enriched process air flow can
be regulated without steps

• Essential factor for successful mixing of concentrate

and oxygen
• The velocity can be kept at an optimum even for a
process air turndown ratio of 1:4
• Highest pressure loss in discharge annulus means
even process air distribution to the reaction shaft
