What is Bag Filter in Steam Boiler?

What is Bag Filter?
Bag Filter

A Bag Filter is an air pollution controlling industrial equipment, used prominently in a Steam Boiler House Assembly. It is used to control the levels of sulfur dioxide and others.
There are different types of Bag Filters such as Shakers, Reverse Air and Pulse Jet type, with Pulse jet type being the most promising one of outstanding results.
A Pulse Jet type Bag Filter consists of a Four-sided hollow metallic body which is conical at the downside. Also, a vertical squirrel cage type arrangement is there for supporting and holding the filter bags. These squirrel type cages are covered by filter bag material. After covering these cages with Filter Bags, it appears as a Pipe like geometry  Downside of this cage is blind while the other side is open for the flue gases exit and pressurized air inlet.
During the operation of a Steam Boiler, the flue gases leaving the Boiler enters the Bag filter body. Now, these flue gases come in contact with the outer surface of the Filter bags ( pipe-like). As the ID Fan creates a continuous suction effect, these flue gases try to enter the cage. So the, bigger size dust particles get collected at the surface of the Filter and flue gases leaves Bag filter through the outlet.
Now, these dust particles which are attached to the surface of the Filter Bag are separated by the Pressurized air supplied by the Pulse Jet system installed at the top of the Bag Filter. This pressurized air enters through the opening from where the Flue gases leave the Filter Bag and this air being pressurized hits the inner surface of the Filter Bag.The dust particles being at rest gets separated thereby justifying the law of inertia. These dust particles, thus separated, gets collected at the bottom bit of the Bag Filter with the help of a Rotary Air-Lock valve. Thereby, completing the operation.
We, at Thermodyne, have successfully installed and commissioned Bag filters at various sites and has helped in protecting the environment.

SENSIBLE HEAT & LATENT HEAT

SENSIBLE HEAT Sensible heat produces a rise or fall in temperature of substance Sensible heat does not change physical state of substance LATENT HEAT Latent heat changes the state of substance i.e. Liquid to Gas, Solid to Liquid and Liquid to Solid in case of boiler . Latent heat does not cause temperature change in the substance

Why spirals are provided at the Idustrial Boiler Chimney

Chimney:- Chimney , as we know, is used to reject the flue gases to the atmosphere, coming from the Steam Boiler during operation. Also, it is a megastructure in Steam Boiler assembly and any discrepancy in its structural and foundation work can cause extremely serious damages, may even lead to casualties or plant shut off till its re-erection. The designer must consider all the factors while designing chimneys and one of the major factors amongst them is the wind factor. Blowing wind tries to overcome its static inertia but fails, if spirals are provided on the surface of the chimney. BUT THE QUESTION IS HOW????? Consider a chimneys (without spiral wings) , when the blowing wind comes in contact with its upstream surface, stagnation point (zero velocity) is achieved at that point i.e. pressure generated is high at that point and at the downstream end a vacuum is created as the wind coming in contact with the chimneys , gets deflected and meets after some point (wake regio...

What is Mobrey

What is Mobrey? Mobrey  is the name used for the  Automatic water level controller , it comes under the category of mountings and fittings of  Steam Boiler Assembly . As the name suggests, it is used for maintaining the water level in the Boiler shell. It is mostly used in  smoke tube steam boilers  not in  water tube boilers , as the shell diameter of the former is greater than that of latter irrespective of their running capacities and working pressures. We at  Thermodyne Boilers  had supplied and installed successfully these Mobrey (automatic water level controllers) to all our clients. For  smoke tube boilers , mobrey is fitted externally on the nozzles coming out of the s team boiler  shell curvature.  It consists of a hollow cylindrical unit in which a float hangs. So, when the feed pump works, it supplies feed water to the boiler shell and it gets filled up. From those nozzles, the water also enters the hollow cylin...
