Contaminated air, typically dry dust and smoke, is drawn through high-efficiency cartridge filters, where the smoke and dust is collected on the outside of the cartridge media. Cleaned air goes through the cartridge to the clean air plenum, through a fan, and is typically exhausted back into the plant air or exhausted outside. The venturi pulse or other types of self-cleaning systems use compressed air to send air through the filter in the reverse direction, thus dislodging smoke and dust from the filter. On single cartridge collectors, the unit must be shut down for the cartridge to be cleaned. In the case of collectors that use multiple cartridges, its common to clean the filters while the system remains on and running. The solid pollutants are then collected in a dust drawer or barrel below the cartridge collector for periodic disposal. This method allows for multiple loadings and unloadings on the filter media, providing high efficiency and long filter life.
