Feasibility Analysis of Integration of Cut Tobacco Conveying System with Sliver Collecting System

The pneumatic cut tobacco conveying system,which draws a fixed volume of compensation air through an air intake branch,has a disadvantage of higher energy consumption.As a remedy for that,it is considered to integrate the cut tobacco conveying system with a pneumatic sliver collecting system by using the compensation air of the former as a part of air supply to the latter.The integrated system was analyzed and verified with fluid network analytical method in terms of system stability and air velocity.The results indicated that the integrated system was feasible.Comparing with independent system,the integrated system reduced energy consumption by 17.8%.
