Design of Conical Strainer and Analysis Using FEA

Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2

Abstract

Strainer is a Mechanical element, which is used to separate the debris particles from the flowing fluid to downstream equipment. The fluid flow without filtration in to the downstream equipment causes damage, due to the initial and maintenance cost of downstream equipment is high, it is necessary to avoid the equipment from the failure. Generally the design, maintenance and service are done by keeping the cost as its main factor. Hence the possible methods should be adopted to avoid this type of failure. The Temporary Strainer is used when the debris rate is more in fluid flow. The pressure exerted into the normal temporary strainer could not withstand the fluid flow exerted to the downstream process and collect the debris properly. Hence Conical strainer is the type of Temporary strainer proposed for large debris collection capacity. So design is carried out to make more stiffer to collect large rate of debris and withstand more pressure with less deformation. Finally validated the results of FEA solution with the Theoretical solution. From the derived formulae, the deformation is more than the expected level, obtained better result for conical Strainer with Stiffener.
