Designing energy-efficient aspiration hoods used for protection during reloading of moldings compounds at casting shops of machine-building enterprises

Abstract

Currently, aspiration hoods consume up to 20% of total circulating assets of an enterprise. The article presents an innovative approach to the design of aspiration hoods for reloading bulk materials by the example of molding compounds of casting shops. This approach includes the design of aspiration hood according to required parameters. This technique will allow receding from the conventional energy-consuming two-step scheme of air cleaning, simultaneously reducing the expenditures and augmenting the reliability of the systems. The suggested approach will enable designing the hoods that reduce the energyconsumption of aspiration systems more than seven times.
