what is bag house and how is working?
Answers
Baghouses and Dust Collectors are often used as synonyms. The baghouse is a system in which air is filtered by bags made of various materials, which are periodically cleaned to remove the accumulated dust. Today, cartridge dust collectors are increasingly popular in many industries, and for good reason: cartridge filters can pack a lot of surface area into a small space and can filter very small (sub-micron) particulate very efficiently. For some industries this is essential, particularly for industries such as metalworking that generate smoke and fumes that contain potentially toxic materials.
The baghouse, however, has been a workhorse industrial dust control for many years, and continues to serve its role today. While the basic concept remains the same, new filter materials and new ways to solve problems make them more adaptable than ever. Not every industry produces dust that’s fine enough to need the high efficiency of a cartridge collector.
Generally, all baghouses have a tube sheet to which the bags are attached, an inlet for dirty air and an outlet for clean air, and an opening at the bottom for collected dust to drop out. The location of these features depends on the type of baghouse. The main differences between types of baghouses is how the bags are kept clean.
