Abstract

Dust collection efficiency data were analyzed to determine better operating conditions for a two-dimensional circulating granular bed filter (CGBF). The dust collection efficiency in the granular bed was affected by the following operating parameters: the louver angle, the solids mass flow rate, and the particle size of the bed material. Experimental results showed that higher dust collection efficiency occurs when the solids mass flow rates were 20.34 ± 0.24, 21.50 ± 0.11, and 30.51 ± 0.57 g/sec at louver angles of 45°, 30°, and 20°, respectively. Optimal dust collection efficiency peaked with a louver angle of 30°. Average particle sizes of bed material by sieve diameters (μm) of 795 μm had higher dust collection efficiency than the average collector particle size of 1500 μm. Dust collection efficiency is influenced by bed material attrition phenomenon, causing dust collection efficiency to decrease rapidly. The dust collection efficiency analysis not only found the system free of design defects but also assisted in the operation of the two-dimensional CGBF system.
