Workshop 3 Sitting Around Collecting Dust: Evaluating Industrial Dust Collector Performance

Sunday, January 29, 2017: 8:00 AM-9:00 AM
Commercial and Industrial IAQ
Chair: Geoff Crosby, Lydall
Technical Committee: 5.4 Industrial Process Air Cleaning (Air Pollution Control)
ASHRAE Standard 199 was published in June 2016 to evaluate the performance of industrial pulse-cleaned dust collectors. This workshop reviews Standard 199, the research that led to this methodology, and explore actual performance data. This method of test applies to bag, cartridge, or envelope industrial dust collectors that recondition the filter media by using pulses of compressed air to discharge the dust cake from the filter media. Attendees will learn how the test evaluates dust collector performance in terms of energy consumption and particulate emissions.

1  Standard 199: Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust?

Bruce McDonald, P.Eng., Consultant
ASHRAE Standard 199 was published in June 2016 to evaluate the performance of industrial pulse-cleaned dust collectors. The workshop covers development of this standard, and its progress to a new ISO standard. This method of test applies to bag, cartridge, or envelope industrial dust collectors that recondition the filter media by using pulses of compressed air to discharge the dust cake from the filter media. Attendees will learn how the test evaluates dust collector performance in terms of energy consumption and particulate emissions.

2  Dusting Off Some Research: From RP-1284 to Standard 199 Test Results

Bob Burkhead, Blue Heaven Technologies
Research Project 1284 provided foundational research for evaluating dust collector performance. Speakers discuss that research and its conclusions, and how those conclusions were applied to ASHRAE Standard 199. The workshop also looks at some actual test data from tests using Standard 199 to explain results.
