Size of the pneumatic conveying silo pump (generator)
Thread Content
Pneumatic conveying is widely used for transporting ash and slag. Are there any experts in this field who could explain whether an increase in the volume of the silo pump can lead to an increase in the transportation capacity? In other words, the conveying capacity is insufficient; could changing the volume of the silo pump be effective?
There is a slight effect. As the volume of the silo pump increases, the time required for stable conveying lengthens; meanwhile, the proportion of auxiliary times such as feeding, purging, pressure reduction, exhaust, and valve operation in the total time decreases, resulting in an increase in the conveying capacity. However, the effect of this increase is not that significant. To increase the flow rate, the most direct and effective method is to increase the pipe diameter; followed by appropriately increasing the gas volume. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me; we can discuss it. QQ346425798
Increasing the volume of the silo pump is one approach, but since the previous conveying system was working properly, it is estimated that, with no changes in other aspects, increasing the silo pump’s volume will not have a significant impact on improving the system’s output. There are many factors at play; feel free to describe the situation and I can analyze it for you. If needed: jcgjcg168@163.com
The conveying capacity is insufficient; the pipe diameter should be increased to directly boost the system’s output, as there is a certain relationship between the pipes and the silo pump, and the silo pump will also need to be enlarged as a result. Simply increasing the silo pump can save the auxiliary time required to close valves, etc., but the overall improvement is not significant. The main parameters for measuring the pneumatic conveying capacity of a system are the ash-to-gas ratio and the average conveying speed. When the material and conveying conditions remain constant, this ash-to-gas ratio remains essentially fixed; increasing the gas volume can change the conveying conditions and speed.
