Dust laden gas enters the inlet duct from the process equipment and flows through the inlet damper into the individual compartments containing the filter bags. The gas velocity is lowered significantly in the gas distribution chamber, therefore a big part of the dust will drop out directly into the hopper reducing the dust burden on the filter bags.The direction in the gas distribution chamber is upward and baffle plates ensure a uniform flow across the distribution screen.

Cages
Returnto
Cleaning princp.
To support the fabric of the bag a mild steel wire (or stainless steel) cage is provided. The cage is designed to support the fabric evenly and restrict flexing and abrasion of the filter bag whilst allowing optimum dust release at the time of cleaning. The cage will be without joints as standard, but can be offered with a split joint if required.Each cage consists of 10 to 16 vertical wires, depending of the choice of the fabric, evenly spaced about its’ circumference which are, in turn, attached to horizontal bracing rings placed at appropriate intervals along its’ length.
Divided cages
Cages with venturis
Bags
A feature of each cage is a venturi, a spun section, located at the top of the cage, designed to enhance the pulse cleaning of the filter bag.

Returnto layout
The compressed air manifolds for each compartment will be fitted with 1 pressure switch (CE marked if required) to monitor the correct performance of the diaphragm valves. When the diaphragm valves are activated the pressure in the compressed air manifolds is detected to identify that the valve open and closes correctly. The signals from the compressed air pressure switches are wired into the local filter controller.

Construction Alternative methods
A fabric filter can be mounted in variousways:
Mounting on site of minor units; some pre-mounting takes place on ground level (please see the previous slides)
Mounting on site of major units; the units have been pre-mounted in the manufacturing workshop
Mounting on site of the complete fabric filter on ground level, and later lifting into position by crane
Mounting of very big units in manufacturing workshop or other suitable place, transport to site by truck, and lifting into place by crane
The solution that proves to be optimalfor the customer under the circumstances, financially as well as practically, will beselected economically.

Insulation
An important factor for the function and life of the fabric filter is an efficient heat-insulation. To avoid condensation with consequent corrosion and reduced lifetime as well as to avoid uncontrolled heat expansion and deformation, the total surface of the precipitator is insulated carefully with mineral wool from 100 to 200 mm thick. The insulation is to be covered, taking into account the heat expansion of the FF, with appropriate sheeting.
