Abstract
To address the concern of fire and dust explosions in wood processing facilities, the charging behavior on wood dust particles and air hoses during the air-blow cleaning operation were investigated. The effective work function, unit weight and surface roughness were key parameters influencing the charge accumulation on air hoses. The use of compressed air with lower velocity and higher moisture content could reduce the charge generation on airborne wood particles. Particle size, shape and wood species affect the charging behavior of wood dust. Conductive surface and moisture could help charges to be dissipated fast from wood dust particles.
