Solving airflow problems
Building on the information presented in his first three series of columns, Paul E. Solt -- a private consultant with more than 40 years experience installing and troubleshooting pneumatic conveying systems -- presents a fourth series of columns on troubleshooting pneumatic conveying systems. In a separate section, Solt also answers your pneumatic conveying questions.
In this sixth column on troubleshooting pneumatic conveying systems, we'll consider an example conveying system to study airflow effects and then discuss methods for solving airflow problems. Along the way, we'll review a combination of topics from previous columns.
