In this study, behaviors of released dust and pressure inside and outside the filter element were observed very precisely. Based on the observation, a simple model correlating between momentum acting on released dust, pressure and, shear and tensile stresses has been proposed. Then its validity was discussed by comparing calculated and experimental results.

Generally, new filter elements with large S/V ratios typically have inlet passages with a small cross sectional area to reach a large filter surface area internal to the filter element. To prevent plugging of the inlet passages, or to prevent the filter passage inlet velocity from becoming dangerously high causing cake disturbance, the high S/V filter can only accommodate a very thin cake. The conventional backpulse cleaning technique may not be able to dislodge this thin cake. The multi-tier design using ceramic candles can tolerate a thick dust cake. The conventional back-pulse cleaning technique could then be used to remove the dust cake. However, due to the proximity of the neighboring tiers, the large-volume flow of the back-pulse mixing with a huge quantity of dislodged dust cake could potentially perturb the local flow distribution from its initially well-mixed uniform flow and dust concentration. As soon as one spot or patch of dust cake forms on the neighboring candle surface due to this redistributed nonuniform flow and dust concentration, patching dust redeposition will occur on the neighboring tiers, leading eventually to ash bridging. This is because the rigid ceramic candle, unlike the fabric filter, does not flex during back-pulse cleaning; therefore, it cannot tolerate the uneven flow distribution. The back-pulse flow universally seeks the least resistance path, resulting in an uneven or patchy cleaning. Ash bridging is known to cause ceramic candle breakage due to the pulse ratchet problem. To understand the back-pulse cleaning problem caused by the use of high S/V rigid filter elements or the implementation of a multi-tier design, a bench-scale, two-dimensional (2-D) cold flow filter test facility is being constructed, and is scheduled for shakedown and testing in July 1993.

High-temperature particulate control devices are an integral part of advanced coal-fired power systems. By efficiently removing minute particles from high-temperature gas streams, environmentally clean and efficient power systems can be realized. In recent years, economic incentives have prompted developers of high-temperature and high-pressure (HTHP) particulate filtration systems to pursue filter element designs with more filter surface area for a given volume. Although higher surface-to-volume (SV) ratio filter designs are driven by economic incentives, physical constraints and the fundamental behavior of dust cake formation and removal will limit the maximum SV ratio. In an attempt to improve the understanding of dust cake behavior in a well controlled environment, a two-dimensional cold flow filter module is being tested. This filter module can be used to investigate dust cake formation, removal, and re-entrainment over a range of operating conditions. Preliminary results suggest that the cohesive strength of the particulate media has a strong influence on how the dust cake is removed during reverse pulse cleaning. Furthermore, the properties of the particulate media play an important role in forming non-uniform dust cakes. In the following paragraphs, the experimental apparatus, preliminary results, and future plans will be discussed.
