 What kind of characteristics of the gas and
dust has a technically relevant influence on
the collection process?

These are:
Filtration speed
Characteristics of particles (dust)
Characteristics of gas
Type and characteristics of the filter medium
Type of filter cleaning system
 m
Speed = unit of length
VO = s
unit of time
gas volume
Emission speed = filtering surface x unit of time
m3
= m 2 x min.
Factors affecting fluctuation of the filtration speed :
Dust content in crude gas
Type of dust and dust quality
Gas temperature
Gas distribution inside the filter
 Determination of the area load
VA = VN . C1 . C2 . C3 . C4 . C5 . C6
The above means:
VA = Dimensioning value for the area load.
VN = Regular or basic value for the area load.
C1 = Correction value for the type of cleaning.
C2 = Correction value for the dust content in crude gas.
C3 = Correction value for the dust quality or the particle size
distribution.
C4 = Correction value for the gas temperature.
C5 = Correction value for the necessary filtration efficiency.
C6 = Correction value for the abrasive behavior of the dust.
