TPT Series Pulse Tank

Tork series pulse valves are normally closed.

The valve bodies of the Tork series are made of die-cast aluminium.

Tork series valve diaphragms are available in both elastomer and thermoplastic types.

What Is the TPT Series Pulse Tank?

The Essential Component for Efficient Filter Cleaning in Dust Collection Systems

Industrial dust collection (jet-pulse filter) systems play a critical role in ensuring uninterrupted production, operational efficiency, and compliance with environmental regulations. Effective filter cleaning and extended filter bag life depend not only on the performance of pulse jet valves but also on the proper selection of pulse tanks that provide an adequate volume of compressed air at the exact moment it is required.

The TPT Series Pulse Tank is a reliable compressed-air storage solution designed according to international standards to deliver maximum cleaning efficiency and continuous performance in pulse jet filtration systems.

What Is a Pulse Tank?

A pulse tank is a specially designed pressure vessel used in industrial dust collection systems to store compressed air and deliver it to pulse jet valves within milliseconds during the filter cleaning process.

In jet-pulse filtration systems, a high-volume air pulse must be released within a very short period (typically 100–150 ms) to remove the dust cake accumulated on filter bags. Air compressors alone cannot instantly provide this sudden demand for compressed air. Pulse tanks store compressed air and ensure that pulse valves operate at maximum impact force whenever required.

Operating Principle of the TPT Series Pulse Tank

The TPT Series Pulse Tank stores compressed air supplied by the compressor at the required system pressure. When the filter control unit (timer controller) activates a pulse valve, the compressed air inside the tank is instantly discharged through venturi tubes and directed into the filter bags.

System Cycle Stages

1. Air Storage

The compressor supplies compressed air to the TPT Series Pulse Tank.

2. Air Reserve Creation

The tank maintains a stable volume of compressed air required for pulse cleaning operations.

3. Pulse Activation

The timer controller sends a signal, causing the pulse valve to open within milliseconds.

4. Shock Wave Generation

High-speed compressed air from the tank creates a reverse shock wave inside the filter bags.

5. Filter Cleaning

The accumulated dust cake is detached from the filter surface and falls into the collection hopper.

6. Refill Process

The pulse valve closes, and the tank is rapidly recharged for the next cleaning cycle.

Why Choose the TPT Series? Key Advantages

Maximum Cleaning Performance

Maintains stable air pressure at the pulse valves, ensuring effective cleaning throughout the entire filter bag length.

Energy and Compressor Savings

Efficient compressed-air storage reduces compressor loading and lowers energy consumption.

Extended Filter Bag Life

Consistent cleaning at optimal pressure levels prevents premature wear and damage to filter bags.

System Stabilization

Absorbs pressure fluctuations caused by sudden air demand, maintaining stable operation throughout the compressed-air network.

How to Select the Right Pulse Tank

An undersized or incorrectly selected pulse tank can lead to filter clogging, reduced dust collection performance, and costly production downtime.

The following parameters should be considered during system design:

  • Total number and length of filter bags
  • Number and size of pulse valves operating simultaneously (e.g., 1½")
  • Required operating pressure (typically 4–6 bar)
  • Available compressed-air supply capacity
  • Installation space limitations
