Mikro-Pulsaire®   Inlet Technlogy : Advantaflo™ Advantaflo™ Technology: Eight years of field and laboratory research revealed that a major hindrance to dust collector performance is uneven air flow distribution to the filter elements. This uneven distribution is the result of ineffective inlet and diffuser device designs. Several diffuser designs were investigated: Impingement Plate, Perforated Disc, and Perforated Mail-Box. In all cases the air stream formed two vortex motions. The primary vortex occurs in the filter housing causing very high localized dust laden velocities. A secondary vortex motion is created in the lower part of the hopper, causing high dust re-entrainment and uneven dust discharge.   Advantaflo PDF product bulletin >   Advantaflo Case History PDF> This condition is the main reason for: Abrasion, short bag life Dust seepage High pressure drops Reduced air flow capacity High cleaning power consumption

	Two Solutions MikroPul arrived at two patented solutions that effectively distribute air flow evenly to the filter bags. Solution One: The Cascadair diffuser uses a succession of orifice plates to divert a portion of the incoming air in stages. The results achieved: Increased bag life Lower pressure drop or significantly increased air flow capacity Minimum dust re-entrainment Overall better filter performance
	Solution Two: The Expandiffuse™ is a two stage inlet with diffusers at right angles to each other. Air enters the filter housing from the side of the unit at velocities reduced over 90%. This design improves pulse-jet performance by as much as 40%. | Benefits include: Higher A/C ratio; i.e. greater flow capacity Longer bag life Reduced pressure drop Elimination of dust re-entrainment Reduction of pulse air consumption Overall better filter performance Dramatically reduced maintenance costs   Both the Cascadair and Expandiffuse can be retrofitted to improve the performance of any style or make of pulse-jet collector. The Cascadair can also be used to improve the performance of any dust collector with a hopper inlet including shaker or reverse-air type units.
