Abstract

This article states that during the construction of industrial buildings it is necessary to provide engineering communications (including systems of supply and exhaust ventilation) which ensure uninterrupted production, its technological and environmental safety. It is necessary to use cleaning devices to remove pollutants from ventilation emissions in local exhaust systems. As for devices for removing highly disperse non-sticky dust, it is possible to offer vortex dust collectors, the efficiency of which depends on the design and operating mode. A method is proposed to increase the efficiency of a vortex dust collector, to improve the quality of the purified air, and to reduce energy consumption during air purification by installing watering nozzles in primary and secondary air pipes made in the form of a Venturi tube. In consequence of multidirectional movement of dust particles and sprayed water, active coagulation of dust particles takes place, as a result of which the separation increases. Apart from that, watering dusty air flows leads to the formation of a liquid film on the inner surface of the separation chamber, which prevents dust particles from rebounding off the separation chamber and facilitates their capture and flushing into the collecting hopper
