Bowersox, T E

This patent describes an apparatus for separating particulate materials having a high concentration of dust from an air stream that includes: a cylindrical vertically disposed housing having an air distributor in the top section thereof; a settling chamber in the bottom section thereof and a tube compartment between the distributor and the settling chamber; an upper tube sheet separating the distributor from the tube compartment; a lower tube sheet separating the settling chamber from the tube compartment; a series of air permeable filter tubes connected between the tube sheets; air inlet means connected to the distributor for admitting air containing a particulate material into the housing; an air discharge opening in the lower part of the bag compartment that is connected to a blower means for drawing air from the distributor through the walls of the air permeable tubes whereby air entrained materials are captured on the inside of the tubes and directed downwardly into the settling chamber; and a perforated flow-control baffle mounted in front of the air discharge opening so that a portion of the discharge air passes through the perforations and the remainder passes around the baffle.
