Introduction
DSI Dust Tamer Windscreen System is designed to drastically reduce wind velocity and practical movement, thus minimizing fugitive dust emissions from sources such as material stockpiles, stack out conveyors, trucks, rail or loader dump pockets, vibrating screens, grizzlies, conveyor transfer points, and load-out silos. They are used as stand-alone systems or in conjunction with fogging as a way to control and contain dust around open dumpsites.
Dust Tamer fabric is knitted from industrial grade woven polyester, resistant to UV rays, inclement weather, and extreme temperatures. Wind reduction of 75% or more can be realized and its use can offer significant savings over the construction of storage buildings. Unlike other dust control technologies, Dust Tamer Systems do not need to be powered, renewed, or require daily labor.
Wind Fence
- The wind is Define as a movement of air from a high-pressure zone to low-pressure zone.
- A wind fence is typically defined as a porous structure that is placed on the upwind side of the area that one is trying to protect from the wind. To be effective, the fence must allow a certain percentage of wind to bleed through the fence to equalize the pressure differential on both sides.
- The equalization of air pressure reduces the air velocities. By allowing some air to bleed through, the higher speed winds are deflected away from the downwind storage area as the wind then ‘sees’ medium air pressure already present at the stockpile location.
- The end result can be a wind reduction of over 50%.
