22、 method.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A fabric filter sample is challenged with a standard dust(particulate matter) under simulated baghouse conditions atspecified rates for air and dust flow.4.2 The test consists of three test runs. Each run consists ofthree sequential phases or test periods during
23、which dust andgas flow rates are continuously maintained to test specification.4.2.1 The test phases are:4.2.1.1 A conditioning period consisting of 10 000 rapidpulse filtration cycles to simulate long term operation,4.2.1.2 A30 normal filtration cycle recovery period to allowthe test specimen to re
24、cover from rapid pulsing, and4.2.1.3 A two-hour performance test period, consisting ofnormal filtration cycles, during which measurements for par-ticulate emissions are determined by gravimetric measurementof the particulate matter which passes through the test speci-men.4.3 PM 2.5 emission determin
25、ations can also be conductedby employing a cascade impactor and modifying the clean gasduct of the test apparatus to insure that isokinetic samplingrates through the impactor are maintained.4.3.1 If measuring for PM 2.5 it is advised that the perfor-mance test period be increased from 120 minutes to
26、 at least 360minutes to allow for adequate weight gains on each collectionstage of the impactor.4.4 Initial residual pressure drop, average residual pressuredrop, residual pressure drop increase, number of filtrationcycles, and average filtration cycle time are monitored andrecorded during the perfo
27、rmance test period. Table 1 and Table2 provide test specifications and test conditions respectively.Table 3 provides a listing of results that will be obtained fromthis test.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method determines the comparative perfor-mance of filter media. The results can be used f
28、or design,manufacturing, construction and selection of filter media.5.2 Results obtained by this test method should not be usedto predict absolute performance on full scale fabric filter(baghouse) facilities, however these results will be useful inselection of proper filter media and identification
29、of recom-mended operating parameters for these full scale fabric filterfacilities.5.3 Dust types vary greatly; therefore, the results obtainedusing the standard dust should not be extrapolated to other dusttypes.6. Interferences6.1 Any variations in the test conditions or test apparatusthat may alte
30、r the physical properties of the dispersed test dustparticles may affect the precision of the test results.6.1.1 These properties include static charge, cohesion, ef-fective particle size, or any other property that affects theability of the dust particles to actually reach the surface of thetest sp
31、ecimen or that affects the interaction between the dustparticles and the filtration surface during the filtration or pulsecleaning process.6.1.2 The test dust is known to have minor differences inparticle size from shipment to shipment and lot number to lotnumber. It is not fully understood what imp
32、act, if any, thesedeviations have on the test results. With each new shipmentand every three months thereafter, the dust particle size shouldbe characterized using the handling, preparation, and testingprocedures specified in this test method. In addition the impactof the dust on differential pressu
33、re and weight gain values of areference fabric should be established and testing of the dustand reference fabric should be conducted quarterly thereafter toallow for comparisons with the established values.6.1.3 Inadequate dispersion of the test dust may affect theprecision of test results. Any surf
34、ace with which the dustcontacts after it leaves the feeder should be made in strictaccordance with the specification. The use of alternate mate-rials for internal surfaces of the raw and clean gas duct maycause the charge on the dust particles to be altered triboelec-trically, which may affect the r
35、esults.6.1.4 The relative humidity and temperature at which thetest is conducted is known to have an effect on the test results.As there are no quantitative relationship that have beenestablished that would allow the correction of test results forvariations in these parameters, it is recommended tha
36、t the testbe conducted in a conditioned room with a relative humiditybetween 40 and 65 % and at a temperature between 23 and27C ( 73.4 to 80.6F). In the absence of a conditioned room,the relative humidity and temperature should be as tightlycontrolled as possible and their levels recorded throughout

Apparatus7.1 General Descriptionthe test apparatus consists of abrush-type dust feeder that disperses dust into a ver
45、ticalrectangular duct (raw gas channel). The dust feed is continu-ously measured and recorded via an electronic scale locatedbeneath the dust feed mechanism. A radioactive Polonium-210alpha source is used to neutralize the dust electrically before itsentry into the raw gas channel. An optical photo
46、sensormonitors the concentration of the inlet dust and ensures that thedust flow is consistent throughout the test.Aportion of the dustladen raw gas flow is extracted from the raw gas channelthrough the test specimen, which is mounted vertically at theentrance to a horizontal duct (clean gas channel
47、). Two vacuumpumps maintain gas flow through the raw gas and clean gaschannels. The flow rates, and thus the filtration velocity (G/C)are kept constant using mass flow controllers. High efficiencyfilters are installed upstream of the flow controllers and pumpsto prevent contamination or damage cause
48、d by the dust. Thetest specimen is cleaned periodically by pulsing with com-pressed air. The cleaning system consists of a compressed airtank, a quick action diaphragm valve, and a blow tube withnozzle facing the downstream side of the test specimen. Thedust that penetrates the test specimen is capt
49、ured on a highefficiency filter. The pressure drop across the test specimen ismeasured and recorded every three seconds throughout the test.Fig. 1 provides a schematic of the test apparatus. The testapparatus consists of the following components.7.1.1 A continuous dust feeding system capable of provid-ing dust feed rates ranging from 80 to 120 grams per hour.7.1.2 A Polonium-210 alpha source for neutralizing the testdusts that have been electrostatically charged by dispersion(dust charge neutralizer).7.1.3 A dust feed hopper with a minimum capacity of 2.0kilogra
