Can fluidized air be passed through the auger device while it is in operation?
Thread Content
I want to use a screw conveyor to transport biomass materials; fluidizing air is introduced during conveying with this screw conveyor. Is such a setup feasible?
It can be increased to improve transportation efficiency
Are there any similar examples for reference?
Can a screw conveyor being used for ventilation achieve fluidization? What is the purpose of fluidizing? Is the material sticky? Does it stick to the pipe walls and prevent transportation, or does it stick to the screw and prevent discharge? The former is related to the design of the auger, while the latter is related to the properties of the material itself. Ventilation is useless; with so many blades on the screw, they block the airflow layer by layer, preventing fluidization from occurring. It’s a good idea, but I’ve never seen it implemented in this way.
