Solution Overview

Problem

Current dust detection methods in gas-solid separation systems are inefficient in monitoring the efficiency of multiple gas-solid separation units, leading to potential dust leakage and poor sealing issues due to irregular gas flow and heterogeneous dust distribution in confluence channels.

Innovation Solution

A dust detection system with signal acquisition, transmission, and processing units is arranged on a confluence channel connected to the net gas output sides of multiple gas-solid separation units, using inductive probes to generate electrical signals from dust particles, and processing these signals to determine abnormal dust concentrations and identify faulty components.
