BHA’s Powerwave acoustic horns:- BHA’s Powerwave acoustic horns are scientifically designed to produce powerful pulses of sound energy that will resonate and dislodge dust from fabric filters, boiler tubes and heat exchangers, precipitator collecting plates and high voltage discharge electrodes, hoppers ,and dust lines ,even SCR catalyst. Acoustic energy has been used successfully for more than 20 years to improve the efficiency of air pollution control equipment in many applications, and has been enabled some plant operators to use acoustic horns as their sole cleaning devices!
The principle behind acoustic cleaning is very simple: sound is a vibration through air
that can be heard. Vibration is effective at dislodging dust from surfaces, and the source of the vibration doesn’t matter. If a vibration is imparted to a dust-coated surface with enough intensity, dust will be dislodged from that surface, whether the vibration is caused by sound waves or a mechanical impact. Nothing magical about acoustic energy….it’s just a source of vibratory energy.
The frequency and intensity of the vibration are critical factors in acoustic cleaning. To be effective, the frequency should be low, but not too low, and the intensity of the sound (decibel level) must be great enough to remove the collected particulate.
