Methodology of pilot-scale studies on pulse-jet filtration of air polluted with wood dust
This article describes in detail the construction and operation of the test rig employed for experimental pulse-jet filtration of air polluted with small wood particles created during machining. It enables evaluation of filter media used for wood dust separation and examination of influence of filtration conditions on the filter performance. Exemplary results of some experiments were presented to illustrate research possibilities of the testing filter and the method. More detailed results of studies on the filtration mechanisms and key parameters which determine the performance of a filter will be presented in further papers.
