Abstract

This study is to see the internal flow for the plasma cutting fume collector. Plasma cutters are widely used in the canning industry and Fume cause the device because it will affect the performance of the design of dust collector. Therefore, to determine the distribution of the internal flow using CFD and Solver was used for calculated with commercial CFD code STAR-CCM+. The results show that design of chamber was incorrect after passed the filter for exhaust to the fan. And the location of the duct to the influx of dust collector and the design was incorrect. In addition, an array of filter was also inappropriate. As a result, present fume collector need to improvement.
