Air cannon principle

Hello everyone ~ Do you know the air cannon? Air cannon, also known as air flow assistant, arch breaker and blockage remover, uses the powerful air flow suddenly generated by compressed gas at a speed exceeding Mach (sound speed) to directly rush into the blocked fault area where bulk materials are stored. This sudden expansion shock wave overcomes the static friction of the material and makes the material in the container flow again. So how does it work? Let's have a look!

It uses the principle of aerodynamics, the working medium is air, and through the differential pressure device and quick exhaust valve, which can realize automatic control, the air pressure energy can be instantly converted into air jet power energy, which can generate powerful impact force. It is a clean, pollution-free, low-energy-consumption and ideal plug cleaning and soot blowing equipment. As a powerful equipment to clear the material blockage in the barrel and pipeline, the action of air gun needs the joint action of related components, mainly including: air gun body (including air injection components), three-way solenoid valve, air gun controller, air gun blowing pipe and so on.

1, diving pulse valve: diaphragm diving pulse valve is used to automatically start the air cannon;

2. Air cannon controller: a microcontroller with time sequence setting, which is used to control the action interval of air cannons or control the action sequence of multiple air cannons;

3. Blowing pipe with air gun: In view of the situation that the material slides down along the barrel wall after the air gun destroys the material bridge (which will lead to adhesion or dirt on the barrel wall);

4. Air pipeline fittings: In order to ensure the good work and prolong the service life of the air cannon, air filters, pressure regulating valves and oil foggers should be used;

5. One-way valve of air pipeline: to prevent the air pressure from dropping due to the problem of air charging pipeline;

6. Fixing accessories: When the strength of the barrel is not enough to support the weight of the air cannon, the air cannon should be effectively bound and fixed;

7. Safety cable;

8. Manual ball valve: Two-way manual ball valve is used to control the total gas source of the gas supply pipeline.
