RFWP Involute Operation
During normal operation, dust-laden air enters the dirty-air
inlet. The involute scroll-style inlet develops a cyclonic airflow
causing heavier particulate to drop directly into the hopper.
The air continues through an internal flow straightener that
evenly distributes the dust-laden air within the collector cross-
section and around the filter bags. After entering the collector
the light dust collects on the outside surface of each filter bag
forming a dust cake. Clean, filtered air passes through the
filter bags to the clean-air plenum and discharges through the
clean-air outlet.
RFWPH High Inlet Operation
High body inlets are necessary for certain applications
including those with lighter density dusts or highly abrasive
materials when the collector will run 24 hours a day, 7 days
per week. In these cases as the air enters the dirty air plenum
it passes through a set of self-sacrificing air distribution baffles
that reduce the inertia of the abrasive materials causing much
of the dust to fall out of the air stream and into the hopper.
The 3/16-in plate heavy duty baffles offer long-term abrasion
resistance. Individual baffles are easily replaced through an
access door on the inlet housing.
