subject: Overview Of Dust Collection Systems [print this page] Dust collection systems have a special purpose of discharging clean air to the environment from the filtered polluted air. It then gives extra protection from the pollutions that can cause health issues. It also protects some machines from dust that can cause damages. There are different kinds of these dust collection systems like the following: air washer, bag house collector, inertial separator, cartridge dust collector and the electrostatic precipitator.
In this entire article, I will be discussing some concepts of the dust collection system as well as those tips that can help choose the proper dust collection system.
There are dust collection systems that are portable and can be moved around the corners and sides of the room. It is an ideal thing for the shops, bedrooms and some small spaces.
Dust collection system is just like an air conditioning system. It is fixed in a place and connected to different tools by way of ductwork. It is suggested for those that have larger spaces then you do not have to buy individual dust collection system by having central dust collection system. It is much better as opposed to having individual ones. And if you compare the power consumption of this larger filter to the smaller ones, it is cheaper. It is a fixed system that when you alter the central dust collection system, it would need some redesigning.
If you have a small space, the n you could go for 1HP dust collector. If you have a room that can fit two cars in it then you could have a 3HP. If you do have a small shop then you need a 5HP for an adequate dust collection.
Here are some tips when it comes to dust collection system design. Look for a flexible hose that can minimize the static pressure. PVC hose are fine since can produce less static pressure loss and is good for separating pieces of flexible hose. The rigid metal pipe and the fittings are perfect for the longer ductwork for the travel of air smoothly.
You should also consider something that has universal port for the different tools that has no direct dust collection port. Also, the keyed hose clamps would also make the moving dust collector machine to be easy and quick. Then, you must avoid fire hazards by grounding the ductwork of the dust collection system with the dust grounding kit. These are the things you could consider remembering so that you can enjoy using your dust collection system.
