Computational Fluid Dynamics & Its Application in Improving Gas Flow Distribution

In the world of process industries, optimal utilization of equipment like Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs), Bag Filters, and Cyclones heavily depends on the uniform distribution of gas flow. If the gas is not evenly distributed, certain sections of the equipment may get overloaded while others remain under-utilized. This imbalance can cause inefficiencies, such as increased sparking in ESPs, reduced effectiveness of Bag Filters, and overall poor performance.

Ionfiltra’s CFD Services stand at the forefront of innovation, providing unparalleled insights into gas flow behavior for complex industrial applications.

One of the main challenges faced by designers is that traditional air load tests might show no issues, but under operating conditions, gas flow irregularities become evident, leading to suboptimal performance. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) provides a powerful solution to these challenges by visualizing and analyzing gas flow in detail.

The velocity in the top region of the cyclone has been reduced to 15-17 m/s, leading to a decrease in pressure. This lower velocity has also improved the collection efficiency compared to the existing cyclone.

It is seen that addition of new settling chamber will reduce dust load by 22 to 25 %. This will reduce dust load going to bag filter. Due to decrease in duct load purging cycles will come down. This will save compressed air.
