A Scientific Review of Dust Collection, The Real Dirt on Dust, 3rd Edition
The third edition provides updated information on cyclone dust collectors, system design, filter media, explosive dust control, and an expanded appendices section with a full engineering guide for unit conversions. Also included is the addition of two new chapters, one with an in-depth review of fans and another on the new standard in dust collection: ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 199 – Method of Testing the Performance of Industrial Pulse Cleaned Dust Collectors. This is the first and only standard as it relates to dust collection equipment and is a valuable tool in reviewing equipment for your facility.
