ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 199-2016 Edition

ASHRAE Standard 199 Methods of Testing Performance of Industrial Pulse Cleaned Dust Collectors provides a method of testing pulse cleaned dust collectors. The approach uses the “black box” concept, by which the dust collector and test system to be evaluated are operated per the instructions of the dust collector manufacturer without modification. This test procedure is not concerned with the internal operation of the dust collector. The performance assessment elements of the test system (inlet challenge hardware, outlet emissions quantification instrumentation, and means to provide regulated airflow through the system) are physically separated and designed so that they can be arranged and independently fastened to the black box to be evaluated.

Other methods of testing fabric and pulse cleaned filter elements (fabric filters) have been used extensively. Although useful, these methods do not adequately address performance. They do not accurately portray the dynamics of pulsed operations of multiple, full-filter arrangements. Moreover, prior to Standard 199, no standardized test was available to test the full system. Standard 199 addresses this need by requiring sequential cleaning consisting of six distinct stages run continuously.

The approach is to introduce a metered dust challenge using a specified test dust and then measure the concentration of the dust by two methods: gravimetric and photometric. Test stages include the following:

• a. Conditioning

1: Initial dust loading
2: Initial dust loading with on-demand cleaning
3: Dust loading with continuous cleaning

• b. Performance Test

Stage 4: Final dust loading with on-demand cleaning

• c. Recovery Test

Stage 5: Up-set condition
Stage 6: Post-up-set condition
