Pneumatic conveying regimes.

RegimeAir velocity (m/s)Solids loadingProduct damage
Dilute phase18 to 25LowHigh
Dense phase3 to 8HighLow
Below saltationUnder 3AnyLine blocks

Which regime suits a fragile product that must be conveyed pneumatically?

  • A.Dense phase, at low velocity
  • B.Dilute phase, at high velocity
  • C.Below saltation velocity
  • D.Any of them equally

Answer: A

Damage in pneumatic conveying comes chiefly from impact at bends, and impact energy rises with the square of velocity. Dense phase moves the material slowly as a plug and is far gentler, at the cost of higher pressure equipment.
