Smoke control measures Flashcards
what is the clean air act
1.introduced smoke controlled areas
2.smokeless fuel (e.g treated coal)
3.forced on domestic properties
4.restrictions on how much smoke could be produced
Change in domestic behaviour
1.domestic heating/cooking
improvements to vehicles
-particulate filters on road (diesel cars)
Electrostatic precipitator
-effluent gases passed through it
-electrically charges plates inside
-particulates attracted to plates
-gas is released
-turn of electric, particulates drop and collected
Cyclone separator
-effluent gases enter
-gas is vaccines up and rotates in cylinder chamber
-denser particles forged to outside of chamber
-clean gas released
-particulates fall, drop and collected
scrubber
-pass effluent gas through water sprays
-water collects particulates
-gas passed on and released
coal treatment
-coal pretreated by heating it
-removed tar substance
-drained off
-coal is treated
Bag filters
-pass gas thought woven fabric filters
-gas passes through
-particulate trapped
Improves combustion efficiency
-increasing complete combustion of file
-more o2 deceasing temperature of engine fan
