Recommended Operating Temperature for Continuous Service in Baghouse Dust Collector
The following are recommended operating temperatures for various fabrics under dry heat conditions. These figures were chosen in order to optimize bag wear life. Higher temperature operation should be avoided as it will speed the degradation of the fabric. Likewise, surges in temperature should not exceed 10% of the rated maximum for more than 10 minutes per day.
Fiber | Recommended Maximum Temperature | Operating Temperature Surge |
| Cotton | 180°F | 220°F |
| Rayon | 180°F | 220°F |
| Wool | 200°F | 225°F |
| Polypropylene | 180°F | 220°F |
| Nylon | 200°F | 225°F |
| Co-Polymer Acrylic | 260°F | 275°F |
| Polyester | 275°F | 300°F |
| Homopolymer Acrylic | 284°F | 300°F |
| Ryton | 375°F | 400°F |
| Nomex | 375°F | 425°F |
| Teflon | 450°F | 500°F |
| Fiberglass | 500°F | 550°F |
