Experiment to Find What Works “ It’s Worth the Effort
Reverse Air Cleaning Optimization
- Clean based on differential pressure
- Optimize cleaning cycle (e.g. 15-30-45 seconds)
- Achieve good compartment isolation during cleaning
- During low loads, use default program to clean minimum one time per 2-4 hours
- Control reverse air pressure to: 1.0:1-1.5:1 air-to-cloth area (+1.5 H2O max)
- Acoustic horns can help reduce R/A pressure
Pulse Jet Cleaning Optimization
- Clean based on differential pressure
- Clean online if possible
- Clean one row in each compartment at a time
- Clean rows of bags non-sequentially
- Use minimum pulse pressure needed to control differential pressure
- Keep pulse duration short (e.g. 0.10 seconds)
- Use clean, dry compressed air
Shaker Cleaning Optimization
- Clean based on differential pressure
- Minimize movement and duration of shaking
- Use anti-collapse rings
- Use deflation dampers
- Acoustic horns can help reduce differential pressure
