Publication number: 20130167721Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fabric filter system, which may be used for removing particulate matter from a gas, such as a combustion process gas. The fabric filter system includes fabric filters (3) in a filter module. From the fabric filters (3), gas flows through a filter plenary space (5) and into an outlet duct (7). A flow control device (17) controls the amount of gas flowing into and through the outlet duct (7). The flow control device (17) comprises a guillotine-type damper (17). The guillotine-type damper (17) provides reliable and efficient control of the gas flow from the filter plenary space (5) into the outlet duct (7). A collar (21), fluidly connecting the filter plenary space with the outlet duct, improves the gas flow into the outlet duct (7).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2011Publication date: July 4, 2013Inventors: Rune Andersson, Anders Hjelmberg

Patent number: 3997294Abstract: Gas treatment such as scrubbing or purificatory heating is carried out by treatment means in permanent gaseous communication with one end face of a rotary regenerative heat exchanger. At the other end face conventional inlet and outlet gas collecting arrangements are provided. A plenum chamber beyond or containing the treatment means allows for flow reversal of the gas treated, so that it may repass through the heat exchanger. Since collecting arrangements are provided at only one end face, the concomitant sealing arrangements need only be provided at that end face, and the rest of a support structure for the heat exchange mass (and which may also support at least some of the further treatment means) may be made of materials chosen solely with a view to resisting the physical and/or chemical conditions likely to be encountered.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 1974Date of Patent: December 14, 1976Assignee: Apparatebau Rothemuhle Brandt & KritzlerInventor: Gerhard Kritzler
