Study Notes
Gravity Settling Chamber
- Removes large and abrasive particles greater than 50 μm from a gas stream
- Uses the principle of gravity to settle particulate matter
- Can be used in conjunction with filters and precipitators to reduce system costs
- Contains baffles to serve as impingement devices
Advantages
- Low capital cost
- Very low energy cost
- No moving parts, resulting in low maintenance requirements and operating costs
- Excellent reliability
- Low pressure drop through the device
- Not subject to abrasion due to low gas velocity
- Provides incidental cooling of gas stream
- Temperature and pressure limitations are only dependent on materials
- Dry collection and disposal
Disadvantages
- Relatively low particulate matter collection efficiencies, particularly for smaller particles
