Bag Filter Housing:-
Bag filter housings are designed to protect your process equipment by removing bag breakage, particulates and other contaminants from your process stream. A bag filter housing provides a cost-effective way to extend the life of your equipment and protect your product quality. Bag filter housings are available in a variety of sizes and configurations to meet your specific process requirements.
When selecting a bag filter housing, it is important to consider the following factors:
– The type of bag filter media you will be using (e.g., polyester, nylon, etc.)
– The size of the bags you will be using
– The flow rate of your process
– The operating pressure of your system
– The temperature of your process
How to choose a bag filter housing?
- The first step is to determine the flow rate of your application. The flow rate is the amount of liquid or gas that flows through the bag filter housing in a given period of time. The flow rate will dictate the size and type of bag filter housing you need.
- The second step is to determine the dirt loading of your application. The dirt loading is the amount of dirt and debris that is present in the liquid or gas. The dirt loading will dictate the type of bag filter you need.
- The third step is to determine the operating pressure and temperature of your application. These factors will dictate the materials of construction for the bag filter housing and bag filter.
- The fourth step is to choose a bag filter housing that is compatible with your specific application. There are many different types of bag filter housings on the market, so it’s important to choose one that is designed for your specific application.
What are the different types of bag filters?
Bag filters come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but the most common type is the round bag filter. Other types of bag filters include flat-bottom bag filters, cartridge bag filters, and pulse-jet bag filters. Each type of bag filter has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to choose the right type for your specific application.
Round bag filters:-
Round bag filters are the most common type of bag filter. They are typically made of woven fabric or felt and have a round shape. Round bag filters are often used in applications where the flow rate is low and the dirt loading is high.
Flat bottom bag filters:-
Flat-bottom bag filters are similar to round bag filters, but they have a flat bottom instead of a round bottom. This makes them more stable and less likely to tip over. Flat-bottom bag filters are often used in applications where the flow rate is high and the dirt loading is low.
Cartridge bag filters:-
Cartridge bag filters are made of pleated fabric and have a cylindrical shape. They are often used in applications where the flow rate is high and the dirt loading is moderate.
Pulse-jet bag:-
Pulse-jet bag filters are made of pleated fabric and have a cylindrical shape. They are equipped with a pulse jet cleaning system that blows air through the filter to remove trapped particles. Pulse-jet bag filters are often used in applications where the flow rate is very high and the dirt loading is moderate to high.
Round bag filter housings:-
Round bag filter housings are the most common type. They are typically made of stainless steel or cast iron and have a round shape. Round bag filter housings are often used in applications where the flow rate is low and the dirt loading is high.
Rectangular bag filter housings
Rectangular bag filter housings are similar to round bag filter housings, but they have a rectangular shape. These filters are often used in applications where the flow rate is high and the dirt loading is low.
Oval bag filter housings:-
Oval bag filter housings are similar to round bag filter housings, but they have an oval shape.
Stainless steel:-
Stainless steel is strong, durable, and corrosion resistant. It is often used in applications where the operating pressure and temperature are high.
Cast iron:-
Cast iron is strong and durable. It is often used in applications where the operating pressure and temperature are moderate.
Carbon steel:-
Carbon steel is less expensive than stainless steel or cast iron, but it is not as strong or durable.
Bag filter housings are available with a variety of different closure types.
The most common closure types are flanged, threaded, and quick-disconnect.
Flanged bag filter housings have raised ridges around the perimeter of the housing that mate with corresponding grooves on the bag filter. This type of closure is often used in applications where the operating pressure and temperature are high.
Threaded bag filter housings have threads on the perimeter of the housing that mate with corresponding threads on the bag filter. This type of closure is often used in applications where the operating pressure and temperature are moderate.
Quick-disconnect bag filter housings have a quick-disconnect coupling that mates with a corresponding quick-disconnect coupling on the bag filter. This type of closure is often used in applications where the operating pressure and temperature are low.
