Research of the hydraulic resistance of the granular filter of the sweeping mashnine

Abstract

The article focuses on the need to improve the ecology in modern cities based on the development of new cleaning equipment. It is proposed to use a granular filter as a dust cleaning unit in sweeping machines. The advantages of granular filters over other types of filtering apparatus are given. The basic schemes of working equipment of sweepers are considered. To describe the processes during air purification in the proposed granular filter, mathematical expressions are proposed to determine the hydraulic resistance of the proposed filter. When developing analytical expressions, the structural and technological features of the proposed filter were taken into account. The results of calculating the hydraulic resistance of the proposed granular filter depending on its main structural and technological parameters are obtained. To confirm the obtained analytical expressions, experimental studies were carried out. The clinker of the Belgorod cement plant of a fraction of -10 + 5 mm was selected as the filtering material. During the experiment, cement was used as dust with a specific surface of various dispersion, determined by the parameter δ50. In addition, filtering speed and filtering time are accepted as variable parameters.
