Baghouse Tubesheets/Cellplates, Thimbles and Access Doors

Tubesheets/cell plates

GE offers tubesheets fabricated to close tolerances, which provides an effective bag seal to reduce potential leakage. The tubesheets are fabricated from either carbon or stainless steel plates, with thickness determined by application. Stiffening is included in the design to minimize warping or deflection. The tubesheets are available in a variety of filter bag connections.

GE can provide rapid turnaround of tubesheets orders for emergency situations.

Thimbles

Thimbles are exposed to harsh baghouse elements and can become corroded, resulting in leaks. GE manufactures thimbles from 12 to 18 gauge carbon or stainless steel to reduce corrosion in chemically active units.

Other thicknesses and materials are available upon request.

Access doors for baghouses and ESPs

GE offers the Center Pivot Access Door and the Insulated Single and Double Access Doors, designed to provide the following benefits:

  • Create and maintain a positive seal
  • Reduce condensation that can cause bag failure and severe corrosion
  • Center pivot hinge assembly provides equal pressure around the entire door frame
  • Easy installation and quick entry due to plated adjustable door latches with no need for hand tools
  • Lock-open bracket, which can be used to prevent the door from closing during servicing

Precipitator access doors have a tough stamped outer door that can be equipped with an insulation filled inner liner to provide extra protection against heat loss and corrosion. (These round doors are also available for fabric filters.)

Doors come in standard 24 in. (61 cm) diameter, and can be ordered with entry/exit sleeves of varying lengths. Key interlocks easily attach to these doors and a High Voltage warning sign is standard.

The Insulated Double Access Door specifically creates a naturally insulating air pocket between the two doors. It combines with the insulated outer door for a superior barrier.

The door guides align the door onto the 1 in. (2.54 cm) fiberglass door seal, ensuring positive seal alignment and ease of closing.

Special coatings and door seal are available for specific applications.
