Title The influence of dust characteristics on the choice of foundry dust collection equipment
Original title Wpływ własności pyłów na dobór urządzeń odpylajacych w odlewnictwie [in Polish]
Bibliographic information Aug. 1972, Vol.26, No.8, p.15-18. 4 ref.
Abstract When planning a new dust collection installation, the following dust characteristics must be considered: specific gravity; particle size and porosity; specific surface area; wettability; electrical resistance; electrical charge; and dielectric constant. Allowance should also be made for the gas composition and the production process used. Gas and dust properties affecting dust collection efficiency and running costs are presented and common types of dust collection equipment are classified according to the work conditions for which they are suited.
