Dynamic gas filter apparatus
An apparatus is described for filtering dust from a gas, comprising: a housing having a gas inlet, a gas outlet, and a bottom; an inflow screen for receiving inflow gas from the gas inlet; an outflow screen through which the gas passes as it flows toward the gas outlet; a gas treatment region located within the housing; a quantity of granular filter medium traversing the gas treatment region for removing dust from the gas; filter medium discharge means installed at the bottom of the gas treatment region; cleaning means for cleaning the granular filter medium and for returning the cleaned filter medium to the gas treatment region; the inflow screen being operative to selectively cause a portion of the granular filter medium to overflow towards the gas inlet in a direction having a directional component antiparallel to the direction of gas inflow.
