METERING SYSTEM FOR SOLID PARTICULATE

摘要

An improved air handing system for a particulate metering system is provided. The system includes a flow path with an inlet in communication with an intake and an outlet in communication with one or more discharge points. A blower can be in communication with the flow path at the intake and provide an air flow to the flow path. The system can include a plenum within the flow path and in fluid communication with the blower. A plurality of ports can be disposed on the plenum and within the flow path. Each of the ports can be in communication with a discharge point. The system can further include air flow directing members within the flow path. Each of the air flow directing members can be in communication with a separate one of the ports and one of the discharge points.

1. An air control system for a particulate meter, the air control system comprising:
a flow path having:
a. an inlet in communication with an intake;b. an outlet in communication with one or more discharge points; a blower in communication with the flow path at the intake, the blower providing an air flow to the flow path; a plenum within the flow path and in fluid communication with the blower; a plurality of ports disposed on the plenum and within the flow path, each one of the plurality of ports in communication with one of the one or more discharge points; and one or more air flow directing members within the flow path, each one of the one or more air flow directing members in communication with a separate one of the one or more plurality of ports and one of the one or more discharge points, wherein the plenum is shaped to provide graduations in air flow velocity across the plurality of ports and to proportion the air flow across the plurality of ports.
