Filter Element Pressure Drop Calculation

The document provides calculations to determine the pressure drop of a conical filter element based on its specifications and operating parameters. It calculates the pressure loss from (a) slots in the filter surface, (b) flow inside the filter element, and (c) total pressure loss. The input specifications include dimensions and flow rate. It determines surface areas, velocities, and Reynolds number to calculate pressure losses using formulas provided. The total pressure drop is calculated as the sum of losses multiplied by a safety factor.

a) Loss of pressure at slot

AFilter = AD * Pi * L
AFilter = 0.074 m²

Aopen = AFilter * kfF


Aopen = 0.017 m²

vs = Q / Aopen
vs = 0.164 m/s

∆PS = ξA * 0,5 * ρ * vs²


∆PS = 21 N/m²
∆PS = 0.0002 bar
b) Loss of pressure inside of filter element

AQ = ID² * Pi / 4
AQ = 0.00448 m²

vR = Q / AQ
vR = 0.62 m/s

Re = ρ * vR * ID / η
6
Re = 45.04 Re > 10 = turbulent flow!

∆PF = 0,3164 / Re0,25 * L / 2 * ρ / ID / 2 * vR²


∆PF = 48 N/m²
∆PF = 0.0005 bar

c) Loss of pressure total

∆P = (∆PS + ∆PF ) * S
∆P = 0.0010 bar

Note:
The calculation is done without consideration of geodetic pressure differences.
The present calculations are model calculations. The results serve as guideline for
design and construction of the filter element.
