Stay clear of explosion vent.
During an explosion, flame,
explosive gases or flying
material will be released.
The following ISO decals may appear on your AVR Filter:
Disconnect, lockout and tagout
electrical and all other energy
sources before inspecting, cleaning
or performing maintenance on this
filter.
This warning sign reminds
operators and other users that they
must read and understand the
Operator Manual before storing,
installing, inspecting, cleaning or
servicing the filter.
This filter may be remotely
controlled. It can start without
warning unless it is properly locked
out at the motor starter or local
disconnect. Do not rely on the
control system for safe lockout.
Equipment can start without
warning. This access port should
be equipped with safety lock.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The AVR filter is a bottom bag removal, automatically controlled, reverse
air pulse cleaning dust filter. AVR models are rated for 17" Hg. or 40
”
H20 in sizes ranging from the 18AVR7 with 13 sq. ft. of cloth to the
96AVR80 with 983 sq. ft. of cloth.

Figure 3-1 Principle of Operation
Air Flow through the Unit
Dust laden air enters the AVR near the bottom of the unit. Rows of filter
bags are mounted on a horizontal tubesheet and suspended in the filter
housing. A remote fan on the exhaust side draws air through the filter.
Filtered dust collects on the outside of the filter media, and falls into the
hopper where it can be collected. Filtered air passes through the center
of the filter bags and out through the clean air discharge at the top of the
unit.
Pulse Cleaning
An air pulse cleaning system cleans the filter bags and dislodges filtered
product so that it drops into the hopper. A system of compressed air
manifolds is mounted above the bank of filter bags. A pulse of
compressed air is periodically directed downwards through the bag. The
pulse flexes the filter bag, causing accumulated dust to be dislodged and
fall to the hopper below.
The cleaning pulse is controlled by a solid state electronic timer which
automatically sequences through the bank of filter bags, one row at a
time. The timer can be set to operate at a predetermined interval.
The pulse can also be controlled by a photohelic differential pressure
switch/gauge which responds to pressure differences across the filter.
When controlled by the switch/gauge, cleaning occurs only when needed,
