The same CFF filters were also tested in plant scale filtration experiments. The wetting experiment results show that the SiC based filter material is better wetted by liquid aluminium than the Al2O3 based filter material. This indicates that the improved wetting of aluminium on a filter material is an advantage for molten metal to infiltrate the filter during priming. Also, better wetting of Al-filter might increase the removal efficiency of inclusions during filtration due to better contact between filter and metal. Non-wetted inclusions are easier to be removed.展开更多

By this technique fairly clear photographs of the concentration and velocity profiles of water droplets in an activation reactor were obtained. The results of the study show that with a venturi tube installed in the activator, the distribution of the droplets is more uniform than without it; the uniformity of the distribution of the droplets can improve the efficiency of the activation of the sorbent particles in the reactor. The picture of the collision of the droplets was obtained in the experiment, which could be used as basis for the study of the mechanism of humidified activation process. The results of the experimental study of the deposition of the droplets on the reactor walls is also described and discussed.展开更多
