Abstract
This paper aimed to obtain the optimum operating point for a prototype of industrial equipment that acts as a solids feeder in an industrial pneumatic transport system, named Batchpump, connected to a 133m long and 3pol diameter pipe, with difference of quota of 5m. This experiment analyzed data regarding the completion point and operating flow. The results are presented concerning the variables of transport rate and energy efficiency, as well as the comparison between the different operating regimes by means of Test F. The values of transport rate show direct relation of the operating pressure with the optimum point of work at 1.6 bar. The tests showed that due to the higher flow restriction a decrease in the transport rate occurs. The energy efficiency showed a behavior directly proportional to the end-of-cycle pressure and the flow restriction.
