Device at a dust filter
First Claim
1. A device at a dust filter for cleaning a gas flow from dust, which dust filter comprises a filter chamber (10) with a gas inlet (12) and a gas outlet (13) and a filter unit (16) located in the filter chamber, which gas inlet (12) is provided with a precollector (30) for separating coarse dust from the gas flow prior to the passing of the gas flow through the filter unit, which precollector (30) is designed as a louvre collector (31) having at least one dust hopper (34) and dust discharge unit (35) located to collect and remove dust separated by the louvre collector by means of a partial gas flow, characterized in that the dust discharge unit (35) comprises a cyclone collector (36), the inlet portion (37) of which is integrated with the dust hopper (34), and the gas outlet portion of which for the partial gas flow flowing through the cyclone is designed as a passageway (39) having a mouth (40) which is located in the filter chamber (10) downstream from the louvre collector (31), and that the cyclone collector (36) is dimensioned so as to impart to the partial gas flow a pressure drop, which corresponds to the pressure drop of the gas flow through the louvre collector.

Abstract
This invention relates to a device at a dust filter for cleaning a gas flow from dust. The dust filter consists of an electrostatic precipitator or fabric filter (bag filter) and comprises a filter chamber (10) with gas inlet (12) and gas outlet (13). At the gas inlet a precollector (30) in the form of a louvre collector (31) is located for separating coarse dust, i.e. dust with a diameter exceeding 50-75 microns. In the order to obtain good collection at the louvre collector (31), the collected dust is evacuated by means of a partial gas flow, which is passed to a dust hopper (34) and a dust discharge unit (35). According to the invention, the dust discharge unit (35) comprises a cyclone collector (36), the inlet portion (37) of which is integrated with the dust hopper (34), and the outlet portion of which or central pipe (38) is formed with a passageway (39), the mouth (40) of which is located in the filter chamber downstream the louvre collector. The cyclone collector (36) is dimensioned so that the pressure drop over the louvre collector (31) amounting dimensioned so that the pressure drop over the louvre collector (31) amounting to between 0.0015 and 0.0030 atm is sufficient to drive the partial gas flow through the cyclone collector, which may be an axial cyclone or a tangential cyclone.
