BrochureDilute Phase Pressure Conveying Systems
Theory
Lean Phase Pressure Conveying Systems (also known as Dilute Phase) generally use positive displacement (Roots type) blowers providing air at up to 1 Bar g to convey materials through a pipeline to the destination where the air and product are separated by a filter or other system.
The product must enter the convey line, which is at a higher pressure, via a special feeding device, usually a rotary valve airlock, or a venturi. The product is frequently suspended in the airflow, moving at relatively high velocities depending on the particle sizes and densities.
Systems generally operate on a continuous basis - product is constantly supplied at the starting point, and arriving at the destination without interruption. This allows this type of system to be easily adapted for dosing and continuous weighing applications.
Applications
Lean Phase Pressure Conveying Systems are particularly suitable for systems which convey materials at low to moderate capacities over medium distances, from single or multiple points to multiple destinations. These systems are versatile and adaptable for different materials and the low operating pressures allow lower cost pipelines and fittings. Frequently the most cost effective solution for typical conveying applications.
