  • Patent number: 10118118
    Abstract: A gas flow control device and a filtering system for a flow of dust-laden gas. The gas flow control device includes a damper blade arranged to be pivoted through a definite pivoting angle around a substantially horizontal pivot axis, for regulating the flow of the dust-laden gas in an inlet channel by pivoting the damper blade between an open position and a closed position. At least one substantially planar guide baffle is attached to each of two opposite, substantially planar surfaces of the damper blade, the at least one guide baffle extending from the pivot axis in the direction of the normal of the general plane of the damper blade substantially to an opposite inner surface of the inlet channel, for controlling the distribution of the dust-laden gas flow to a fabric filter enclosure.

  • Patent number: 9221002
    Abstract: A pulse cleaning filter system has a housing with an inlet side and an outlet side separated by a planar tubesheet. The housing includes multiple tubesheet openings forming multiple rows. Multiple cylindrical filter cartridges have an open end sealed around one of the tubesheet openings and a closed end at the inlet side of the housing. A filter cleaning system includes a compressed gas header extending perpendicular to a normal of the tubesheet, multiple compressed gas outlet stub pipes extending from the header, right angle pulse valves connecting each of the stub pipes to a pulse manifold pipe including a first straight portion, a ninety degree bend at the outlet side of the housing, and a second straight portion at the outlet side of the housing. A gas pulse nozzle has a main injection axis directed along the central axis of the filter cartridge.
