Suction Air Calculation

Suction Air Quantity Q = 1000 m3/hr

Design Margin 25%
Air Quantity Q = 1250 m3/hr
Material factor f = 2 Dry and Dusty
Suction Air Quantity Q1 = 2500 m3/hr Heavy (Screen Bldg)
Q2 = 1250 m3/hr Light (I-Bin)
No of Suction Hoods H1 = 4
H2 = 1
Total Suction Air Quantity Q = 11250 m3/hr
Hood Design
Capture Velocity Vc = 0.8 m/s powder
= 2.5 m/s grains
= 3 m/s lumps
Air quantity Q1 = 0.69 m3/s
Also Q1 = Area (A) x Capture Velocity (Vc)
Area A1 = 0.87 m2
Hood Size (m x m) H1 = 0.93 x 0.93
Air quantity Q2 0.35 m3/s
Also Q2 = Area (A) x Capture Velocity (Vc)
Area A2 = 0.434 m2
Hood Size (m x m) H2 = 0.66 x 0.66
Duct Design at Suction
Duct Velocity Vd = 22 m/s Horizontal
18 m/s Vertical
Suction Air Quantity Q1 = 0.69 m3/s
Q1 = (3.14*d*d)/4 x Duct Velocity Vd
Diameter of Duct d1 = 0.200 m
= 200 mm
Suction Air Quantity Q2 = 0.35 m3/s
Q2 = (3.14*d*d)/4 x Duct Velocity Vd
Diameter of Duct d2 = 0.142 m
= 140 mm
Duct Design at Intersections
Suction Air Quantity Qi1 = 1.39 m3/s
Qi1 = (3.14*d*d)/4 x Duct Velocity Vd
Diameter of Duct at Suction di1 = 0.284 m
= 280 mm
Suction Air Quantity Qi2 = 1.39 m3/s
Qi2 = (3.14*d*d)/4 x Duct Velocity Vd
Diameter of Duct at Suction di2 = 0.284 m
= 280 mm
Suction Air Quantity Qi3 = 2.78 m3/s
Qi3 = (3.14*d*d)/4 x Duct Velocity Vd
Diameter of Duct at Suction di3 = 0.401 m
= 400 mm
Suction Air Quantity Qi4 = 0.69 m3/s
Qi4 = (3.14*d*d)/4 x Duct Velocity Vd
Diameter of Duct at Suction di4 = 0.200 m
= 200 mm
Suction Air Quantity Qi4 = 3.47 m3/s
Qi4 = (3.14*d*d)/4 x Duct Velocity Vd
Diameter of Duct at Suction di4 = 0.448 m
= 445 mm
