Can Velocity Calculator

Can velocity in a baghouse dust collector is the air velocity in the space between the filter bags and the inner surface of the housing. The function of can velocity is to ensure that the dust particles are properly filtered and collected by the filter bags. If the can velocity is too high, the filter bags may wear out quickly due to abrasion from the dust particles. On the other hand, if the can velocity is too low, the dust particles may settle on the filter bags, leading to clogging and reduced filtration efficiency. Therefore, maintaining the appropriate can velocity is essential for effective dust collection and optimal performance of the dust collector.
