Introduction
In the past, we’ve worked on bag filters to understand how they deal with particles. Our costumer wanted to know which filter region are actively working and which ones aren’t. How air flows through it? and how particles behave? Now, in this new case study, we’re exploring how to make bag filters work even better using CFD simulations. The client approached us to analyze the existing design using CFD simulation to identify the root cause of the problem and provide recommendations for improvement.
The goal of this study was to take a close look at how air moves inside the bag filter system. We wanted to understand how fast the air goes and how it spreads out inside the filter. By using CFD, we aimed to check how well the filter works and if there are any places where the air might twist and turn too much (region prone to torsion). Our ultimate aim is to find ways to make the filter work even better, so it cleans the air efficiently and effectively.
The results of this study showed that the filtration velocity is non-uniform along the axial direction of a long bag filter. The filtration velocity is very small at the bottom of the bag filter but very large at the top. This finding suggests that the top section of the long bag filter could deteriorate faster than the bottom section, which could lead to performance issues.
In conclusion, this CFD case study demonstrated the power of simulation in enhancing the performance and efficiency of a bag filter system. By optimizing the design, operational parameters, and filter media selection, we achieved improved particle capture efficiency, reduced pressure drop, and enhanced environmental compliance. This study underscores the importance of CFD in addressing complex industrial challenges and achieving sustainable solutions in air pollution control
A bag filter is a device used in industrial settings to clean the air by capturing dust, particles, and pollutants from gas streams. Its primary purpose is to ensure that the air released into the environment meets regulatory standards and is free from harmful particles, making it safer for both the environment and human health.
