Principles of pneumatic conveying. The design of pneumatic conveying systems is critically dependent upon a knowledge of the pressure drop and the minimum necessary velocity of the conveying gas. Starting from the areas of application of pneumatic conveying systems, the conveying states occurring are discussed and appropriately assigned to the diagram of state. The pressure loss equation is reported for conveying in form of a fully suspended flow and strand-type conveying and the theoretically predicted pressure losses are compared with experimental values for the conveying of coarse and finegrained materials. After mentioning the calculation of the pressure drops due to acceleration and to pipe bends, the article discusses the problem of pipe enlargement for long conveying distances. Equations are also given for the calculation of the so-called blocking limit and of the conveying gas velocity at which the minimum pressure drop occurs. The influence of the compressor on the choice of the operating point is also discussed. New calculation equations are then given for horizontal and vertical conveying in form of a fully suspended flow conveying and for horizontal strandtype conveying which permit reliable scale-up. Moreover, a new equation is reported for the blocking limit in horizontal conveying.
