Factors Affecting Pulse Valve Blowing Volume

The blowing volume of the pulse valve determines how many filter bags it can clean (i.e., the filter area), but it is not entirely accurate to measure the cleaning ability of the pulse valve only by the air volume. The blowing volume is not only related to the pulse valve itself, but also limited by a variety of system factors. For example, the volume and pressure of the air distribution box, as well as the air delivery capacity of the pipeline and air source, will affect the blowing effect. In addition, factors such as the temperature, humidity, and dust concentration of the filter bag can have varying effects on blowing requirements. Therefore, the cleaning capacity of a pulse valve cannot be determined by its blowing volume alone, but must also take into account the overall system.

Role of the Designer

The selection of the pulse valve is critical in the design of a baghouse dust collector. The designer needs to determine the cleaning requirements based on the various parameters of the dust collector and select the appropriate pulse valve. This process can be compared to a doctor prescribing medicine. Although the medication is the same, the dosage and method of administration may vary from patient to patient. Again, the pulse valve manufacturer provides standard data, but the designer needs to select the most appropriate valve configuration for each situation.

Responsibilities of the pulse valve manufacturer

Pulse valve manufacturers need to work closely with users to provide a wide range of performance data, including injected air volume, and give advice based on actual use to help users better select and use pulse valves.

Combination of experience and science

Pulse valve selection is not only a science, but also an art. Experts use their rich practical experience to continuously adjust and optimise the configuration of pulse valves in different projects. Therefore, designers need to accumulate experience in actual operation, combine with the needs of specific projects, and reasonably use empirical data to select suitable pulse valves.
