Material selection considerations for dust removal filter elements under high temperature conditions

In the industrial production process, high temperature conditions pose severe challenges to the dust removal system. As the core component of the filtration system, the material selection of the dust removal filter element is directly related to the equipment's operating efficiency and service life. In the face of high temperature environments, filter materials need to have excellent heat resistance, chemical stability and mechanical strength to ensure long-term stable filtration performance.

High temperature resistance is the primary consideration for material selection. Ordinary filter materials are prone to deformation, embrittlement and even melting under continuous high temperature conditions. The mainstream high-temperature filter materials on the market currently include glass fiber, ceramic fiber and specially treated synthetic fibers. Glass fiber filter materials can withstand operating temperatures above 260°C and have relatively low costs, making them the first choice for many industrial scenarios. Although the price of ceramic fiber filter elements is relatively high, their temperature resistance can reach above 800°C, making them particularly suitable for high-temperature flue gas treatment in industries such as steel and cement. The PTFE coated filter material developed in recent years not only has excellent high temperature resistance, but also has excellent chemical inertness and can resist acid and alkali corrosion.

In addition to temperature resistance, the mechanical strength of the filter material is also crucial. High temperature environments are often accompanied by airflow impact and dust abrasion, which requires that the filter material must have sufficient tensile strength and wear resistance. After the glass fiber is treated with a special weaving process, its mechanical properties can be significantly improved. The ceramic fiber filter element with a three-dimensional structure can ensure good structural stability while maintaining a high porosity.

In actual selection, factors such as dust characteristics, airflow velocity and system operating costs must also be considered comprehensively. For example, for high-temperature dust with high viscosity, choosing filter materials with specially treated surfaces can effectively prevent caking; for systems that require frequent dust cleaning, materials with excellent fatigue resistance should be given priority. Professional filter material suppliers can usually provide targeted test data and technical support to help users choose the most suitable high-temperature filter element solution.
