Precautions for activated carbon air filters

Precautions for activated carbon air filters

The following are precautions for activated carbon air filters:
Installation link
- Correct direction: Make sure the air filter is installed in the correct direction so that the air flows in the marked inlet and outlet directions, to ensure the filtering effect, otherwise the air may pass through without being fully filtered.
- Good sealing: During installation, ensure that the seal between the filter and the equipment is good to prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the filter from the gap and reducing the filtering efficiency.
During use
- Avoid a high-humidity environment: The adsorption capacity of activated carbon may be affected in a high-humidity environment. If the air humidity is too high for a long time, it may cause the activated carbon to adsorb too much water and reduce the adsorption capacity of other pollutants, so it should be avoided as much as possible in an overly humid environment.
- Control wind speed: Too fast airflow may cause the air to contact with activated carbon for too short a time, and the adsorption effect of activated carbon cannot be fully exerted. Generally, the wind speed should be controlled within a reasonable range according to the specifications and design parameters of the filter.
- Stay away from pollution sources: Do not install the activated carbon air filter directly near the pollution source, such as next to equipment that produces a lot of dust, oil, or chemical pollutants, to avoid the filter from being saturated in a short time and reducing the service life.
Maintenance and care
- Regular inspection: Check the appearance of the filter regularly to see if there is any damage or deformation. At the same time, check the pressure difference. When the pressure difference exceeds the specified value, it usually means that the filter resistance has increased and maintenance or replacement may be required.
- Timely replacement: Determine the replacement cycle based on the air quality and usage time of the use environment. If the concentration of pollutants in the filter-use environment is high, it may need to be replaced in advance. Generally, when the filter adsorption reaches saturation and the filtering effect is significantly reduced, such as obvious odor at the air outlet, it should be replaced in time.
- Storage conditions: If there is a spare activated carbon air filter, it should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated, and clean environment, avoiding direct sunlight and high-temperature environments to prevent the performance of the activated carbon from being affected.
