However, dust collection efficiency decreases with time until the bag filters are no longer effective. Dust adhering to the fabric is a major determinant of bag filter life. In the present study a flat filter was used to study the relationship between various parameters of a bag filter structure and its dust dislodgement efficiency. The results confirm that fiber linear density, modulus of elasticity, and the form of the fiber cross-section of the felt can each affect the dust collection efficiency of a bag filter. Higher fiber linear density in a bag filter prevents dust from penetrating the filter, and this allows the dust to be more easily dislodged from the filter. Examination of various forms of fiber cross-section indicates that for the same fiber linear density the triangular form is better than the circular form. A lower Young's modulus allows the fiber to bend more easily and prevents the dust from penetrating the filter. Fiber linear density, fiber modulus of elasticity and form of the fiber cross-section are the variables affecting bag filter efficiency., Article, TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL. 84(7):764-771 (2014)}, pages = {764--771}, title = {Influence of fibers on the dust dislodgement efficiency of bag filters}, volume = {84}, year = {2014} }
