A Proactive Approach to Equipment Maintenance
with Air Filtration
Every piece of equipment, large or small, stationary or mobile, indoors or outdoors, needs
preventative maintenance. Dirt, debris and grease are continually coating and insulating your equipment's coils,
condensers, electronic systems, motors, fins and other components that fall in the path of the equipment's air intake. Airflow obstructions or any kind are a costly expense. Even if foreign objects are not visible, the buildup of airborne dirt will impact the equipment's ability to work efficiently and require repeated maintenance for cleaning. Dirty equipment means efficiency decreases, heat build-ups, higher discharge pressure and increased amp draw. Forced to run for longer cycle times, at reduced capacity, the equipment eventually breaks down, life expectancy decreases and power costs escalate.
After equipment has been installed,
many mechanical contractors find themselves rigging a filtration solution to
protect the costly equipment. This particular condenser unit had to be
replaced at Primo Pizza & Pasta Restaurant because of the huge amount of flour
dust and oil mist that is continually circulated throughout the air, coating the
coils. The unit has already failed due to excessive heat and dirty coils.
The condenser unit's location on top of a Norlake KoldLocker walk-in
cooler, makes it hard to clean the coils regularly. Self rinsing coil
cleaner is supposed to be used, but there is no place for the cleaner to run
off, except down to the counters, and possibly on to the food preparation
areas.
The original filtration fix, done by
James Mechanical Company, consisted of a 1" tacified nonwoven polyester
pad, which had to be duct taped to the front of the fins. This filter pad has to
be changed at least once a month. The blue pad shown below had just
been replaced, and after only a day, it was coated and filthy.
  Permatron's
Patented Equipment Protection filters are permanent/washable woven synthetic
fabric media, which draws in and traps airborne particulates. The 3-dimensional
electrostatic media,
enhanced by airflow, needs no electrical connection or system modification.
Engineered with a specific application in mind or various cut-to-fit
applications, the Equipment Protection air filter can be affixed to the outer
perimeter of the air intake by a unique, magnetic or hook/loop attachment.
Grommets can also be added. Equipment protection air filters can also be constructed with steel frames in
various thickness that slide into a holding channel. Built with durability in mind, the
Equipment Protection filters will stand up to hostile environments including
corrosive areas, UV exposure and fluctuating weather conditions. Customized
protection needs are available using wire cloth, perforated metal, netting,
woven and non-woven media, odor/fume adsorbing media, flexible or steel edged
screens.
In a tight economy, the need to differentiate your product from the competition is a top priority. Precision engineering, top quality parts and manufacturing are all key elements to the success of your product. Well-maintained equipment costs less to operate, ensures optimal life expectancy and energy efficiencies. Ensuring that your equipment delivers consistent high-level performance alleviates the need for unnecessary service calls and warranty claims. Top equipment performance and outstanding buyer protection are the reason your equipment will be the number one choice.
