Calculation of Air-Slide Conveyor
Pneumatic conveying involves the transportation powder, granular and piece of material and is based on the phenomenon that at the appropriate speed of air in the pipeline, the solid particles are brought in the desired direction. If inlet air velocity is too high the material flow rate may be reduced, the power requirements will be excessive, and operating problems will be severe. Considering the advantages that air-slide conveyors can offer in relation to pneumatic conveying systems especially in terms of low power consumption and operating problems associated with abrasive particles, such as erosive wear of system components and degradation of friable particles. In this paper is presented design calculation of airslide conveyor in the thermal power plant.
