Avoid splitters and crooked lines.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I was recently asked by one of our readers if we could write an article on how to install the differential pressure reading system components for a baghouse. The process, like many baghouse-related items, is not complicated.\u00a0However, there are some industry best practices that make maintenance easier and reduce likelihood of problems in the future.<\/p>\n<p>This guide can be used regardless of what kind of differential pressure reading system you are going to use. The process is the same for magnehelic and photohelic gauges, as well as timer boards and control boards with on-board pressure sensors.<\/p>\n<h2>Installing a Baghouse Differential Pressure System<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">1. Determina qu\u00e9 tipo de controles de presi\u00f3n diferencial utilizar\u00e1s.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Magnehelic gauges are simple and provide reliable data. However, they alone cannot be used to control the cleaning system on a baghouse.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Timer boards are useful for processes that are consistent in dust loading and operating schedules, but\u00a0must be manually set by operators.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Clean on demand systems are the best choice for controlling a dust collector. Often, these systems are all in one controllers, or they are a mix of a control board with an external photohelic or magnehelic gauge for pressure readings<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Air lines running between the controls and the baghouse can be plastic, carbon fiber, or even metal (copper or aluminum). Plastic or carbon fiber lines are easier to run, but metallic lines are much more durable and will require far less maintenance in the long run.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Consider installing secondary magnehelic gauges for redundancy and easy reading by maintenance personnel.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">2. Decide la ubicaci\u00f3n de tu(s) control(es).<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Locate your controls where they can be easily accessed by maintenance personnel. With smaller units often the most convenient location for controls and gauges will be on the ground level. Good locations include on supports or nearby walls. On larger units, controls are best located near the doors or along access platforms. Common locations include next to\u00a0the door, above the pulse valves and compressed air header, or on a nearby wall or column.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">3. Determina la ubicaci\u00f3n de tus tomas de aire y planifica el recorrido de las l\u00edneas de aire.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>Air taps are best placed near the corners of the clean and dirty plenums. This minimizes the amount of dust that can enter back into the air lines and possibly foul the DP sensors. Try to keep them about at least\u00a06&#8243; from the walls and in the corners where practical. Keep both taps near each other for easy access when performing maintenance.<\/li>\n<li>Decide on the best path for your air lines. Avoid runs over 100&#8242; as this may affect the accuracy of the readings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Common Issues with Dust Collector\u00a0Differential Pressure Gauges<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Problem<\/strong>: I hooked up the DP lines, but my\u00a0DP sensor is giving me a negative reading.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Solution:\u00a0You likely have the lines mixed up. Try switching the lines on the inputs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Problem<\/strong>: I have the lines set up correctly, but I am getting very low readings (usually under 1&#8243;).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Solution: Before installing the both lines, you need to zero out the gauge. Attach one side and then with the other one off zero out the DP sensor. Now when you attach the second line it should give an accurate reading<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Problem<\/strong>: My controller is setup, but the solenoids are not firing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Solution: Check your wiring to make sure you have everything correct. Often, the common line from the solenoid to the\u00a0control is mixed up with one of the control wires. Double\u00a0check everything and follow the wiring diagrams from your manufacture exactly.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Special\u00a0Thanks<\/h3>\n<p>A special thanks goes out to one of our readers, Tim Skiba, for suggesting this subject for an article. \u00a0If you have any topics that you would like to see discussed on Baghouse.com, please share them with us in your comments below.
