Design & Calculation of Air Chamber of Air Cushion Belt Conveyor

Abstract:

The article mainly provides an overview of air cushion belt conveyor, and describes design of air chamber, as an important part of the air cushion belt conveyor. The article introduces reasonable structure design of the air chamber from aspect of practical experience. In addition, the article researches air pressure design and calculation of air chamber, design and calculation of air volume of the air chamber, as well as power determination and design calculation on fan. The article designs and calculates per opening area of the air chamber as well as opening method of the chute depending on air pressure and air volume, and simultaneously analyzes formation influence factors and features of air pad in the chute. And finally, the article proposes reference conclusion and suggestions on the basis of research on the design of the air chamber.
