Abstract

In designing pneumatic conveying systems it becomes apparent that ancillary topics and equipment also have influence on the design. The storage chambers of solid particles is intimating tied into such design because if the materials can not be delivered from the storage unit, there is no conveying. This chapter gives the rudiments of silo design so as to be complete in the coverage of pneumatic conveying system. Other topics that also are on concern are erosion of the particles and wear of the pipelines along with the valves employed in such systems. Since not all pipelines run a straight course, bends must be considered in the design of pneumatic conveying system. They can often be the failure point of the conveying operation. Valves are of particular concern since they are mechanical and as such can be affected by small particles which have the potential to render the valve inoperative.
