Frequently Asked Questions
• How do the FILTER-ON work ?
.jpg)
FILTER-ON units & equipments work on
the principle of two-stage electrostatic precipitation. It consists
of plate type electrodes across which high voltage electric field is
applied. Also it has two sections i.e. Ionization Section &
Collection Section. When the air stream passes through ionization
section, the particles in air are ionized and are charged
positively, due to high voltage electric field.
When positively charged particles enter collection section, these
are repelled by positive electrode and are attracted to negative
electrode. These particles get neutralized on negative electrode and
remain deposited on the negative electrode plate. Thus the particles
are separated from air stream and air filtration is achieved.
• Is it necessary to provide high voltage electric supply to the
unit ?
FILTER-ON units are equipped with inbuilt high voltage power pack,
so it does not required High Voltage Supply. The units require
standard single-phase 230-v AC 50 Hz supply. The power pack in the
unit converts this incoming supply to the required high voltages.
• How much power is required to
our these units ?
|
The power required for Electrostatic
Precipitator is very low i.e. |
|
up to 6000 M³ / hr. |
Capacity |
25 watts |
|
6000 - 24000 M³ / hr. |
Capacity |
90 watts |
|
24000 - 32000 M³ / hr. |
Capacity |
180 watts |
|
36000 - 72000 M³ / hr. |
Capacity |
270 watts |
• What are the
risks / hazards associated with high voltage used in FILTER-ON units
?
Maximum high voltage generated in 12 kv DC, which is
the range of voltage which is used in many household appliances also
like Television sets, PC etc. However all the care is ensured in
design and manufacturing to completely eliminate any possible
hazard.
The access doors of the units are fitted with door safety switches
so that the supply get immediately cut off, when any door is opened.
Also the body of the unit is connected to ground. The high voltage
components are designed to withstand short circuit loads and the
controlling circuit ensures proper regulation of voltages in routine
operation as well as short circuit operations.
As
such virtually there are no hazards / risks regarding the high
voltage in FILTER-ON units
• What are the
limitations of FILTER-ON ESP type Air Filters ?
Since the unit works on high voltage, it
cannot be used in fire hazardous area, inflammable type fumes such
as petroleum and oil refineries as well as VOC (Volatile Organic
Chemicals) type - pollutants.
• What
are the maintenance requirements of the units / systems ?
Depending upon application and concentration of pollutants, it is
required to clean the ESP type filter cell periodically. It is
advisable to follow a preventive maintenance schedule for this
activity. Also other checks of indications, electrical components
required to check once in a month so as to ensure trouble free
operations of the unit.
