Due to the growing problem of air pollution, the use of low, medium and high efficiency filters in industry is becoming more common. However, improper installation may result in reduced filtration efficiency. The Liaoning Jiefair company has prepared for you several recommendations for installing air filters:
The correct way to install air filters is:
Learning the correct installation procedure is key to effective equipment installation. In fact, installing the hardware is not particularly difficult, but during the installation process you need to pay attention to how clean the installation environment is. If possible, cleaning should be carried out using pulsed air, and if installed in a clean shop, it should be fully prepared. If possible, you can use a vacuum cleaner with an ultra-clean filter. If the filter is installed in a suspended ceiling, it is necessary to pay attention to cleaning the ceiling, since only thorough cleaning during installation guarantees correct installation and, therefore, better operating results.
If the air filter must be installed in a clean room, wooden frames should be avoided if possible as this may affect the indoor air quality. In addition, you should choose filters with a metal frame that have good corrosion resistance. During the installation process, special attention must be paid to the tightness of the connection between the air filter and the frame: it must be tight and free of leaks to ensure the filtration efficiency of the equipment. If the ambient temperature is relatively high, high temperature resistant air filters should be used.
Before installing the air filter, do not open the packaging bag or film to avoid damaging the equipment, and store it according to the instructions on the packaging. During transportation, handle it carefully, avoiding strong vibrations and shocks, which could damage the air filter. For high efficiency filters, the pipe installation direction must be correct; In addition, when installing combination filters with pleated plates vertically, the pleated plates must be perpendicular to the floor.
Ⅰ.Installation of air filters for general ventilation
1.Installation methods
Installation on the front side of the block body. Advantages: good tightness, standard method of filter installation. Disadvantages: requires more space for installation; high cost of the mounting housing.
Installation with side sliding in and out along guides. Advantages: saving space for installation; savings on housing costs. Disadvantages: difficult to ensure good sealing. Typically recommended for primary filters only.
2.Primary filters
When installing primary filters with a paper frame, special attention must be paid to the inlet and outlet sides of the filter!
The outer frame is made of moisture-resistant cardboard, so high humidity is not an issue, but it will not withstand immersion in liquid water. When immersed in water, the filter frame softens, the resistance of the filter material increases significantly, which can lead to its tipping over. Therefore, adequate rain protection measures must be taken during installation and operation.
Primary filters with paper frame are intended for one-time use only!
3. Medium efficiency bag filters
Basic installation rules: the filter cannot be installed upside down in height and width; glass fiber filter material has low mechanical strength and is very easily damaged if handled incorrectly; When installing the filter, avoid contact with the inside of the filter material; The filter material should not serve as a support point during installation, otherwise it may be damaged. Such situations often arise in practice, so the user's installers should pay special attention to this.
It is recommended that you wear gloves when installing the filter, as the bag's mounting brackets can injure your hands, and without gloves, installers will naturally hold onto the filter material, causing damage to it.
When installing side ejection bag filters, avoid scratching the filter bags from the side of the mounting frame.
The resistance of synthetic fiber filters does not increase beyond a certain level, so problems with rupture due to overload are rare. However, with fiberglass filters, the resistance increases continuously as they age, and if they are not replaced, they are bound to break.
1.Installation of air filters for clean rooms
2.W type air filters
Basic installation principles:
Type W air filters use the same mounting frames as fiberglass bag air filters and are secured with clips. For W type air filters of classes H10 and H13, it is necessary to use frames with better tightness and more powerful clamping mechanisms (tightening with bolts at the corners of the frame). It is necessary to ensure tightness between the frames, for example, using sealant.
The filter media of W type air filters (white pleated part, fiberglass filter paper) is more susceptible to damage than the filter media of fiberglass bag air filters. When installing/moving, hold the filter by the outer frame without touching the white filter material. Watch the position of your fingers when holding the frame. Inexperienced workers often unintentionally damage filter paper.
Correct installation:
Step 1: Hold the outer frame of the filter with both hands, insert the larger part of the filter into the mounting frame and stabilize its position;
Step 2: Insert your hands into the V-channel of the filter. Attention: Do not touch the filter paper;
Step 3: Press the filter top cover with both hands, lift the filter slightly, and carefully insert it inside, pressing it firmly against the mounting frame.
Step 4: Lock the clamping mechanism. How to install the high efficiency filter without baffles:
1. During transportation and storage, the high-efficiency air filter should be placed in accordance with the manufacturer's labeling instructions. During transportation, it should be handled with care, avoiding strong vibrations and shocks:
2.Before installing the high-efficiency air filter, it is necessary to clean and wipe the clean room, and remove dust from the internal parts of the cleaning system to ensure that cleanliness requirements are met;
3.At the installation site, unpack the filter and check its condition, including filter paper, frame, sealing gasket, dimensions, etc. The thickness of the sealing gasket should not exceed 8mm, and there should be no leakage at the frame joints:
4.When installing, the arrow on the outer frame of the filter must coincide with the direction of the air flow. In the case of unidirectional flow, the difference between the nominal resistance and the average resistance of each filter installed in the same air intake or on the same supply surface must be less than five percent.
How to install a high efficiency baffle filter:
Before installing the H14 baffle filter, the ventilation ducts of the air purification system must be thoroughly cleaned. Typically, before hanging the ducts, the inside walls are first cleaned with detergent or alcohol, then the inside of the air conditioning unit is washed, and then the pre- and mid-filters are installed or cleaned. The clean room is then thoroughly cleaned and wiped down. If dust has accumulated inside the air conditioning system, it should be removed and wiped down again until the required level of cleanliness is achieved. If high-efficiency filters are installed in a technical space between floors or in a suspended ceiling, then these areas must also be thoroughly cleaned and wiped down.
The frame for installing the H14 filter with partitions must be level; the permissible deviation in the flatness of the mounting frame of each high-efficiency filter should not exceed 1 mm; The surface of the plenum chamber must be coated with a paint with high resistance to aging.
When installing the high efficiency air filter, the arrows on the outer frame must align with the direction of the air flow; When installed vertically, the folds of the filter paper should be perpendicular to the floor.
Recommendations for installing air filters without baffles/with baffles:
1. The inner plastic packaging of filters without/with partitions must be opened only in a clean room;
2.When carrying and installing the filter, hold it by the outer frame with both hands;
3. To install large filters, at least two people are required; pay attention to the need to protect the sealing gaskets;
4.Do not support the filter with your hands by its central part;
5.Do not touch the inner filter material of the filter.
Conclusion
1.After dismantling the old filter, you need to clean the filter frame and related equipment, and then install the new filter.
2.After completing the installation of the filter, you should check that it is installed correctly and make sure that the front and rear measuring tubes are in place;
3.Make sure the frame is tight and replace damaged gaskets.
4. Make sure that the connections between the frames are tight; If necessary, a special low volatility sealant can be used.
