BPS 402
The
BPS 402 is a complete system for filter monitoring and cleaning. The
NEMA 4 control panel provides the excitation voltage the the
BPS 400 differential pressure sensor. The control panel also displays
the differential pressure in inches of water, transmits a 4-20mA signal
proportional to the pressure, and provides relay outputs to initiate
bag cleaning and high pressure alarms.

Cycle Timer vs. On-Demand
Cleaning
Most
dust collectors clean or backwash the filters at regular intervals
controlled by a cycle timer. Ironically, many users have tried "on-demand"
filter cleaning, based on differential pressure, only to return to
cycle timers, because the pressure sensor proved to be unreliable
because of clogged tubing connections. When filters are cleaned based
on time intervals alone, they are cleaned whether they need to be
or not; plant air is wasted and reduced filter life results in premature
filter changes. Additionally, over cleaning a filter lowers its efficiency
by removing the small "cake" on the filter, which helps
contain the most finely divided particles.
As the filter bags or filter cartridges become dirty, the differential
pressure across the tube sheet increases. If the filters are cleaned
based on differential pressure, rather than a cycle timer, they will
be cleaned only when necessary. On-demand cleaning saves plant air,
reduces the number of cleaning cycles, thereby extending filter life,
and will not "over-clean" the filter. The BPS 400 provides
the reliable differential pressure measurement to make on-demand cleaning
a reality.
The BPS 402 Control Panel gives the user the ability to monitor the
process for upset conditions. The On-Demand filter cleaning control
of the BPS 402 provides longer filter life and optimum system performance.
