Today's strict health and safety standards demand cleaner and safer air for both the working environment and industrial processes. When choosing the type of air required there are core factors that must be considered
Particle size -- The size of the contaminant to be removed from the air
Particle properties -- e.g. solid, liquid or gas; corrosiveness, toxicity
Duty Level -- Quantity of contaminant in the air
Airflow -- The volume of air passing through the system
Pressure Drop -- Pressure differential in the clean and dirty air side
Temperature -- High temperature operating conditions need filters of suitable construction
Humidity -- Moisture can have adverse effects on the performance of the incorrect filter
Cost -- Spending a little more by opting for a higher performance filter in many case may be more cost effective e.g. reductions in maintenance costs by way of fewer filter changes
These are a few example of the basic considerations when selecting an air filter for any application or equipment.
