Investigation on a modified louvred inertia air filter

Abstract

An experimental study was carried out to determine the effect of the design parameters of blade angle, spacing width on the static pressure drop and mass efficiency of a louvre dust separator for the two cases of solid blades and a newly modified slotted blade design. The experiments were carried out using model test sections.Computer models of louvre blade inertia air cleaner performance were developed in an attempt to predict the mass efficiency.Conclusions were drawn regarding the best values of the design variables for optimum mass efficiency and pressur drop. © 1992 Elseiver Science Publishing Co., Inc.
