Research and Development for Dust Removal on Diesel Engine (Part-2)

—Dust Removal Characteristics and Dust Removal Plant Operation Characteristics—

Abstract

We have been developing a dust removal plant which can trap and incinerate the dust from the disel engine by the granular type filter.
We conducted the dust removal characterictic test and operation characteristic test of the dust removal plant following the element test stated in the 1st report.
Results of this research are summarized below.
(1) More than 70% of the trap efficiency can be achieved even in the low pressure loss region of the granular section.
(2) The trapped dust can be incinerated by setting the temperature at 550°C for 10 minutes and at 600°C for 5 minutes.
(3) The dust removal plant can continuously remove 70% of the dust in any load condition and any type of the fuel for the test engine.
(4) The dust removal plant can remove dust operating with the other exhaust gas purification method.
