A3/A4 Digital Differential Pressure Control for Dust Collectors

Why upgrade your dust collector to a pulse-on-demand system?

Pulse-jet baghouse dust collectors rely on high pressure bursts of air to clean their bag filters.  This cleaning cycle plays a major role in the efficiency and effectiveness of the baghouse including the efficiency of the filters, the useful life of the filters, and the energy costs associated with operating the system including the compressed air requirements.  If the cleaning cycle for your baghouse is currently being manually initiated or is a continuous duty system, you may want to consider upgrading to a pulse-on-demand system where the cleaning is initiated based on the differential pressure across the filters. 

Installing a Sensocon® Series A3 or A4 Digital Differential Pressure Control is a quick and inexpensive way to upgrade to a pulse-on-demand  system.  The Sensocon® Series A3 or A4 Digital Differential Pressure Control will monitor the pressure between the clean and dirty air sides of the filter and automatically initiate the cleaning cycle when the differential pressure rises above a user defined set point and will continue to clean until the differential pressure drops below a user defined set point.  These differential pressure controllers are designed for easy installation and can be panel mounted in the same size hole as a Magnehelic® or Photohelic® gage or can be surface mounted with the optional A-101 Surface Mounting Bracket. 

Advantages of a pulse-on-demand dust collector system with a Sensocon® Series A3 or A4 Digital Differential Pressure Control include:

• More functionality, better accuracy, and more precise control compared to mechanical differential pressure gauges or switch gages
• Helps optimize bag filter efficiency and increases the operating life of the filters
• Reduces the operating and maintenance cost of the system through optimized filter use and energy savings
• Reduced compressed air requirements

Other product features of the Sensocon® Series A3 or A4 Digital Differential Pressure Controls includes:

• User friendly program design allows parameters to be digitally set for precise control
• Additional relay can be used for high and low alarm or as another set point control
• Time delay parameter allows the user to add a time delay to the set point to prevent the system from initiating an unnecessary cleaning cycle
• User selectable engineering units
• Optional 4-20 mA output
