Do you know what the biggest performance killer for a baghouse ventilation system is?
It’s none other than “in leakage”.
For those who don’t know what in leakage is; it is when air seeps into a ventilation system. A small hissing sound can be heard when in leakage is occurring. As the air leaks into the system it begins to take away from the flow of the process. The disruption of the flow results in reduced performance or production of the overall system.
Now here’s the real issue.
The above image shows a process ventilation system that utilizes a high temperature baghouse. When the air comes into the baghouse it meets ambient temperature, in which case the air begins to grow in volume. Ambient in leakage can significantly reduce the performance of a ventilation system which becomes very costly.
