Abstract:In this study, the bag filter device was taken as the research object, a three-dimensional CFD numerical model of pulse-jet cleaning was established and proved by experiments under the consideration of jet misalignment. In the validated CFD model, the pulse-jet cleaning under low energy consumption has been studied by optimizing the design of the nozzle and Venturi tube and modifying the numerical model. The improved nozzle and Venturi tube were used in actual engineering to study their effects on dust emissions. The results illustrated that the validated CFD model revealed a highly transient behavior and the compressible effects, that was the formation of vortex rings and the shock cell phenomenon within the jet. Compared with the hole nozzle, the improved design of nozzle had an appropriate adjustment to the jet misalignment, which led to the increase of the pulse-pressure in the filter bag by 5.1%~13.3% and the cleaning efficiency improvement. Compared with a Venturi tube with the throat diameter of 85 mm, the design with no Venturi tube could result in difficult entering the filter bag of the jet, which led to the decrease of the pulse-pressure in the filter bag by 41.4%~46.3% and a decrease in the cleaning efficiency. Also, the reduction of the throat diameter of Venturi tube could reduce backflow, elevate the pulse- pressure in the filter bag and improve the cleaning efficiency. Compared with the original device, a bag filter with improved nozzle and Venturi tube can significantly reduce dust emissions. This study can provide reference for the optimal design of pulse-jet cleaning bag filter.. Key words:low energy consumption/ pulse-jet cleaning/ bag filter/ three-dimensional model/ jet misalignment/ computational fluid dynamics/ design optimization.
