Activated Carbon Filter - TBH DF Serie Manual De Uso Y Mantenimiento Original

Description
Filter-cartridge systems can be protected with a downstream particle filter in addition to the
filter cartridge. In these cases, the particulate filter becomes the main filter and the filter
cartridge becomes the pre-filter.

Activated Carbon Filter

The service life of the activated carbon filter depends strongly on the respective operating
conditions and can therefore not be predicted. In case of odour nuisance or if it starts to
smell, the saturation of the activated carbon filter is reached and it must be changed. The
activated carbon filter is not monitored via the filter-saturation indicator.

Molecular Sieve, Operating Principle:
In order to eliminate or minimize gaseous pollutants or unpleasant odours which can arise
during the most diverse production processes, it makes sense to work with molecular sieves,
such as activated carbon. Due to formation of finest pores and capillary systems, the surface
area is up to 1500 m² per gram of activated carbon. This results in a very good degree of
adsorption and a high storage capability, which leads to long service lives.
