Synopsis

This brings together all the essential elements in the selection, design and specification of conventional pneumatic conveying systems. Reference is made to the chapters and sections of the "Pneumatic Conveying Design Guide" for more detailed explanations of each aspect. WSL and Thames Polytechnic, where most of the experimental work for this book was carried out, both have excellent reputations for their extensive research. Their collaboration with a consortium of industrial manufacturers and users of pneumatic conveying equipment has resulted in this authoritative guide. This guide is also available as part of a set, accompanying "Pneumatic Conveying Design Guide".

About this title

Book Description

A practical and well-reviewed resource in an area where few other books exist

From the Back Cover

The Pneumatic Conveying Design Guide will be of use to both designers and users of pneumatic conveying systems. Each aspect of the subject is discussed from basic principles to support those new to, or learning about, this versatile technique.

The Guide includes detailed data and information on the conveying characteristics of a number of materials embracing a wide range of properties. The data can be used to design pneumatic conveying systems for the particular materials, using logic diagrams for design procedures, and scaling parameters for the conveying line configuration. Where pneumatic conveyors already exist, the improvement of their performance is considered, based on strategies for optimizing and up-rating, and the extending of systems or adapting them for a change of material is also considered.

All aspects of the pneumatic conveying system are considered, such as the type of material used, conveying distance, system constraints including feeding and discharging, health and safety requirements, and the need for continuous or batch conveying.
