GDED-IOM-215-A 

Solution:    Investigate  further,  check  the  wiring,  fuses,  settings  on  the  pulse  controller, 

failure of the pulse controller 

 

Issue:       Lack of compressed air 
Solution:   Check compressed air supply, valves and gauges, any CA filters. Correct supply 

pressure should be 90-100 psig 

 
Issue:    

Diaphragm  valve  failure  –  may  be  indicated  by  non-action  or  a  continuous 

hissing from one valve   

Solution:   Replace diaphragm and spring if faulty 

 

Issue:    

Solenoid  “pilot”  valve  malfunction.  Listen  for  clicking  of  each  solenoid  and 
momentary venting as solenoid is energized.  

Solution:   Replace solenoid  
 

Issue:    

Air in leakage at hopper – at dust discharge device 

Solution:   In-leak of air at the hopper will lift collected dust back up onto the cartridges 

causing high differential pressure. Check integrity of the air seal at the dust 

disposal device (gate valve, barrel, rotary valve etc.) referring to the relevant 
IOM and taking all safety precautions  

 
Issue:    

Moisture/Condensation 

Solution:   Free  moisture  on  the  cartridges  will  inhibit  dust  release  and  cause  high 

differential pressure. Run the pulse cleaning in timer mode with the fan off for 
at  least  15  minutes  (“off  line  cleaning”)  to  release  the  sticky  material. 

Investigate the cause of the excessive moisture and consider remedies such 
as  elimination  of  rainwater  in-leakage  in  the  ductwork,  process  variations, 

water in the compressed air manifold.  

 
Issue:    

Static Electric charge effects may occur with very highly electrically resistant 

dusts (e.g. polypropylene dust) and in very dry applications 

Solution:   Switch to AAF Anti-Static cartridges.  

 

Issue:    

Inlet overload situation 

Solution:   Excess  airflow  and/or  excessive  dust  loading  will  cause  high  differential 

pressure. Measure the airflow, and measure, or estimate the inlet dust loading. 
Compare with the original design criteria.  

 

Issue:    

Non-standard cartridges fitted 

Solution:   Replace with AAF supplied replacement cartridges
