2.4 Additional safety instructions at inflammable dusts
2.4.1 General instructions
a) Inflammable dusts are:
-fire hazardous in quiescent condition
-explosion hazardous in whirled-up condition.
b) In case of inflammable dusts the filters have to be equipped with safety devices against
dust explosions. The electric devices are also included here.
2.4.2 Dust explosion and fire protection
The operator has to take care that no ignition sources from other areas could lead into the
filter
Examples for potential ignition sources are:
- Hot surfaces
- Flames and hot gasses
- Sparks and glowing nests
- Sparks generated mechanically
- Welding and cutting
- Spontaneous ignition
- Electrical recources
- static electricity
- Thunderbolt
People who work in areas where there is a risk of explosions should not be dangerously
charged. Through the respective conductive protective clothing and floors, charges can be
avoided.
- If there is danger of dust burnings the operator has to check-up whether the local condi-
tions will be sufficient for a necessary fire extinction (qualified staff, works fire station, local
fire station).
- For the design of explosion- and fire protection equipment for the filters special knowledge
will be necessary. These safety devices must therefore not be revised without having
official authority.
- If this protection equipment against dust explosions and dust fires will not or not completely
be ordered together with the filters with Messrs. FILTRES INTENSIV and be required for
delivery the operator has to take care for the completeness of this equipment.

2.4.4 Protective concept against explosion
1 The stability of the filter is designed for a reduced explosion pressure in connection with
pressure relief at atmospheric pressure.
Flames and pressure waves caused by an explosion will be transmitted in connected pipe
lines and components and could cause severe damage there.
It must be insured that explosions in a filter do not lead to any secondary explosions with
impermissibly high pressures.
The filter unit is only to be used with suitable components in the
dirty gas or the clean gas line as well as in the discharge area..
If this is not done, the chance of deadly explosions can not be
excluded.
In the case of a fire or an explosion the filter, including all discharge
organs and topped dust transportation ways, fan, filter cleaning
system, etc. must be put out of operation immediately to avoid any
dust clouds and transfer of inflammable materials into adjacent
components. (Use signal e.g. by bursting sensor of the bursting disk
or response signal of the decoupling systems and/or by the fire
protection system for triggering)

The sleeve-round filters are equipped with a fully automatically operated filter sleeve
cleaning system. The cleaning of the filter sleeves is effected by pulses of compressed air
or other pressure gases together with secondary air by means of a 2-stage injector system.
During this process the cleaning air flow is blown via the inlet nozzle (6) into the filter sleeves
(3) causing a sudden reversal of pressure opposite to that of the filtration flow in the cleaning
air flow.
Figure 9: Filter sleeve section (cleaning phase)
Due to this sudden change in pressure, the filter sleeve which took up the shape of a star
around its support cage is suddenly inflated into a circle and the reverse flow of cleaning air
blows the dust off the outer surface of the filter sleeves which falls into the dust collection
hopper.
The operation of the filter sleeve cleaning has to be supervised by
regular checkings!

The filter sleeve material quality is of decisive importance to the function of the filter and is
selected according to each individual application.
The ruling factors are:
-Type of dust, dirty gas composition and grain distribution in the raw gas flow.
- Plant- or process technique of the plant to be dedusted.
- Required residual dust values in the clean gas.
The following may be detrimental to the function of the sleeve-round filter:
- incorrect selection of the filter material
- incorrect or inexpert manufacture
- poor storage facilities
- damage due to inexpert storage or installation.
When using other filter sleeves which do not correspond to the FILTRES INTENSIV original
execution there is the risk of injuries to health to the personnel working in the influencing
area due to an insufficient exhaust capacity of the filter plant, or due to exceeding the legally
determined admissible residual dust values in the clean gas.
Only filter sleeves which correspond to the original execution of
FILTRES INTENSIV have to be used!
Pay attention to the exhaust capacity of the sleeve-round filter!
Pay attention to the admissible residual dust values in the clean gas!

Stage 1
Compressed air is fed into the circular cavity (4) of the "Coanda" injector (1) via the injector
tube (2) and escapes through the circular slot (5) causing an axial stream (6) down the inside
surface of the injector. This induces secondary air (7) into the injector (1).
Stage 2
This combined compressed air and secondary air leaves the injector (1) and enters the inlet
nozzle (11) at high speed inducing a further supply of secondary air (9). This total reverse
air flow causes a sudden inflation of the filter sleeves (12) which blows the accumulated dust
from its outer surface.

3.14 Sealings
Figure 17: Sealings
The good function of the filter depends mainly from the sealing. For sealing of the filter flat
sealings will be used (see sketch). Sealing points which are not shown have to be treated
similarly.
3.15 Inspection openings
All inspection- and maintenance openings at the sleeve-round filters in the area of dust
conveying equipment, such as dust rotary valves and flaps, are provided with haxagon
screws thus preventing that one can get into movable machine parts involuntarily. These
lockings can only be opened by means of corresponding tool. (wrench). When opening
voluntarily it is presumed that the corresponding plant part will be switched-off. Thus the
sleeve-round filter plants have therefore only to be operated with tightened openings.
Should for the operators works other safety philosophies and prescriptions or additional
warnings be applicable these should be considered by the operator at the sleeve-round filter
operation.
Sleeve-Round Filters must only be operated with tightened
openings!
There is the risk of danger due to movable machine parts!
Before opening the inspection door in the crude gas area, switch off
the drives for the discharge parts as well as the heating for the
housing and let them cool off for 15 minutes.
If this is not done, dust fires or explosions due to ignition by hot
surfaces cannot be excluded.

The cleaning cycle has to be understood such that the filter sleeve rows will be cleaned each
one at an interval of 120 s.
The clock time (interval time) can be established as follows:
e.g.: filters with 3 filter sleeve rows
cleaning cycle 120 s
clock time = ------------------------------------ = --------- = 40 s
number of sleeve rows 3
filters with 5 filter sleeve rows
cleaning cycle 120 s
clock time = ------------------------------------ = --------- = 24 s
number of sleeve rows 5
filters with 5 filter sleeve rows
cleaning cycle 120 s
clock time = ------------------------------------ = --------- = 12 s
number of sleeve rows 10
In case of bigger filters the number of the cleaned filter sleeve rows will be distributed to the
10 existing connections of the control unit so that in these cases one or more sleeve rows
will be cleaned in parallel. The cleaning cycle of 120 s will, however, also be maintained
here. The clock-time, and thus also the cleaning cycle, can be adjusted on request to the
local conditions, considering, however, the resulting consequences. These settings assume
professional knowledge and should only be done after having consulted the experts of the
manufacturer. In case of a modification of the cleaning cycle the following should be
considered:
a) Shortening of the cycle time
- the compressed air consumption increases in the same ratio
- cleaning of the filter sleeves will be more intensive
b) Prolongation of the clock time
- the compressed air consumption decreases in the same ratio
- the efficiency of the cleaning decreases also according to the local conditions
The pulse time is set in the control unit and sealed up. This setting may not be modified,
-in special cases only by experts-. The use of various types of control units is possible.
A separate operating instruction has to be considered.

1.3 Electrical connections
The sleeve-round filters will be supplied completely wired. All cables have identification
numbers. The customer has to install the electronic control unit. An easily accessible place
should be chosen for the place of installation. If possible, the control unit should not be
installed at the filter, since due to the shaking of the pneumatic cleaning system the function
can be affected. The connection to the valve- resp. terminal boxes arranged at the sleeve-
round filter and the current supply of the control unit has to be installed by the customer.
To ensure the correct function of the sleeve-round filters it is necessary to provide the
electric connections according to the terminal plans pertaining to each individual filter type.
All electric works must only be effected by qualified personnel according to the DIN / VDE
standards as well as to the local conditions.
Modifying the pulse- and clock times without having official authority may endanger the
correct function of the filter plant and must only be effected - if at all - only by the technical
expert personnel.
Filter plants with electric installation in normal execution may not be operated in hazardous
locations and critical against vapours or dusts. For these purposes other types of electric
installations with special protection types are necessary.

The necessary compressed air for the filter sleeve cleaning will be supplied by:
- works network (10)
- compressors (8).
A compressed air set (5) is provided before each sleeve-round filter (1).
This air set meets the following functions:
- separation and filtration of dirty particles, oil and water with automatic drainage
- regulation of the adjusted cleaning pressure.
The cleaning pressure to be adjusted can be taken from the point "Technical Data".
If the pressure in the supply line (7) will be higher than the admissible pressure in the
compressed air reservoir (2), the compressed air system of the filter has to be protected by
a safety valve (6). A shut-off valve (3) is provided at each compressed air reservoir (2)
between the distributing main (4) and the compressed air reservoirs (2) in order to
epressurize the compressed air reservoir when effecting e.g. repair-or control works.
The main shut-off valves (9 or 11) permit a switch-off of the total compressed air system.
The sections of the supply lines (7) provided by the customer have to be chosen big enough
(in case of short supply lines one nominal width bigger than the connection at the compres-
sed air set). At longer supply lines the sections of the same have to be adjusted to the local
conditions. The condensate arising obligatorily at the compressor plant will be let off by the
compressor drainage (12).
As to the compressor itself the operation instruction of the manufacturer has to be
considered.

2.3 Remarks
- The diaphragm valves need for closing a minimum pressure of 0,3 bar. In case of
difficulties during starting due to a pressure reducing at the diaphragm valves the
necessary closing pressure can be provided by a sudden opening of the main shut-off
valves or the individual shut-off valves arranged before the compressed air reservoirs.
- The filter sleeve cleaning process will be with unoiled compressed air.
DO NOT FILL IN ANY OIL !
At the operation of compressed air- resp. compressed gas plants the
prescriptions for compressed air reservoirs have to be maintained!
The compressed air reservoirs of the Sleeve-Round Filters may only
be operated with a pressure stated on the compressed air reservoir
nameplate. The operation of these units with a pressure higher than
the admissible pressure is not permitted according to the legal
prescriptions!
The safety valves are adjusted by the customer to the admissible
operation pressure and leaded. The lead seals may neither be
removed nor the valves readjusted arbitrarily!
The condensate arising during the compressed air supply has to be
completely collected and disposed according to the local
prescriptions. The condensate may not be let off into the sewerage!

3 Filter sleeves
4 U-tube pressure gauge
5 Measuring sections
The supervison of the correct function of the sleeve-round filters will generally be by
measuring the filter sleeve differential pressure (filter sleeve resistance) with a U-tube
pressure gauge. This pressure gauge consists of a glass tube bent in form of an U which is
filled with a measuring liquid. Both tube legs are open and provided for the connection of
measuring hoses. A scale arranged behind the U-tube permits an actual value determi-
nation of the sleeve-resistance. The measuring result is the difference value between the
two liquid levels in the U-tube. The measuring hoses will be connected each one at the front
walls of dirty- and clean gas room.
Measuring procedure as shown on the sketch.
A correct measuring result assumes clean measuring lines. For this reason the measuring
line to the dirty gas room has to be cleaned in particular from time to time according to the
local requirements. The differential pressure set value pre-set for each filter can be taken
from point "Technical Data".
The correct function of a Sleeve-Round Filter is only guaranteed if
the filter sleeve differential pressure measured at the filter will not be
higher than the pre-set actual value. Unacceptable high differential
pressures indicate a not correct function of the filter so that
detrimental influences due to an insufficient exhaust capacity of the
filter cannot be excluded.

which requires less maintenance.
Maintenance is therefore limited to the following areas:
1. Check-up of the filter sleeves after 500 operating hours at the latest.
2. Check-up of the differential pressure gauge, if necessary, to refill the measuring liquid or
to replace the same, possibly the measuring ductings have to be cleaned.
3. Check-up the filter in the compressed air set and condensate outlet, possibly clean or
replace filter.
4. Check-up and, if necessary, tighten the filter sleeve fastening (special nuts).
5. Check-up of the injector tubes and injectors with regard to proper fastening, possibly
tighten.
6. Check-up of all pneumatic ductings with regard to density, possibly repair leakages.

Avoid sparks with all repairs!

6.1 Protective measures during maintenance work
For maintenance work where there is a risk of ignition in areas at risk
of explosion or in areas where the work can result in a dangerous
explosive atmosphere arising, protective measures are necessary.
The employer or their representative must specify the location, start,
duration and extent of the necessary protective measures in work
instructions, usually in writing and must instruct the employees
accordingly (for the coordination of work see paragraph 6 of the
regulations for the prevention of industrial accidents "General
regulations" (German employers' liability insurance association
regulations BGV A1)).
Work may only start when the employer or their representative has
ensured that the protective measures have been carried out and are
effective. The effectiveness of the protective measures must be
monitored for the duration of the work. The employer or their
representative may only cancel the protective measures when the
maintenance work has been completed and there is no longer any
danger.
After the maintenance work is complete it must be ensured that the
explosion protection necessary for normal operation is effective
before operation is restarted.
Coordinating work
para. 6
(1) If an employer subcontracts work to another company then, if
necessary to avoid being a danger to one another, the employer
must nominate someone to be responsible for the coordination of
the work. The employer must ensure that this person has authority
over the subcontractor and their employees..
(2) If the subcontractor accepts jobs which are to be done at the
same time and place as jobs to be done by other subcontractors,
then they are obliged to coordinate with the other subcontractors as
far as is necessary to avoid presenting a danger to one another.

6.9.2 Removal of the filter sleeves
The removal of the filter sleeves will be effected in the reverse sequence. Before removal
the filter cleaning should be switched-in for such a long period until the filter sleeves are free
from dust. In certain cases, e.g. in case of dust types which are dangerous to health or
excessive heat it can be advantageous to let the fan of the filter plant operate in throttled
state. The thus penetrating fresh air through the sleeve bottom holes creates a better
atmosphere for the personnel. Useless filter sleeves have to be disposed according to the
local conditions considering the legal prescriptions.
When changing the filter sleeves only the filter sleeve quality has to
be used which has been designed for the dust to be filtered!
Accident preventing prescriptions have to be considered carefully!
If required by the local prescriptions protecting clothes have to be
used!
Breathing masks have to be used in general!
The prescriptions for disposal of filter sleeves which can no more be
used have to be paid attention to!

7 Spare parts and customer service
7.1 Stockkeeping of spare parts
For a continuous function- and operation readiness and also for a correct repair of the
sleeve-round filters the stockkeeping of spare- and wear parts is an important condition.
7.2 Ordering of spare parts
The ordering of spare parts will be done generally according to the spare parts list.
The following indications have to be made:
- Com.-no.
- Machine-no.
- Type
- Spare part designation
- Spare part number
- Required number of pieces
- Exact despatch address (e.g. exactly designated place of installation, inventory number,
name of the person to whose attention the goods are supplied)
- Delivery date
It has to be considered that due to the variety and the special application of the sleeve-round
filters not all spare- and wear parts can be stored in any number of pieces. Therefore it is
strongly advised to keep a pre-planned number of pieces on stock.
7.3 Customer service
The FILTRES INTENSIV customer service can be consulted for all problems regarding
sleeve-round filters.
Attention has to be paid to a sufficient stock of spare- and wear
parts!
