Fluid-particle flow in deeming of inertia-air filter design

Abstract EN

The usage of inertia air filter to clean air passing to air consuming device has few attention in spite of its importance.

This work focuses on the idea and advantages beyond this filter.

A finite element solution of Navier- stoke equation in turbulent Zone is used to obtain pressure and velocity distribution through typical section in inertia air filter, these values are used to obtained the trajectory of different particle size using four order Runge- kutta integration method.

The path trajectory will device on how large particles size can enter certain zone.

Inertia air filter will prevent the air consuming devices from stopping due to blocked air filter.

A special design is proposed so that to minimize loss with good ability in filtering dusty air.

The usage of inertia air filter will help in elongate the life time of the usual air filter without appreciable increasing in pressure loss.
