Figure 2 shows an example of poor air circulation,

 

Filter Capacity

where the air filter is placed too close to obstruc-

 

tions and the velocity of the air is lost and circula-

 

 

tion is diminished.

The G0573 Two Speed Floor Air Filter is designed

 

 

to recirculate the entire volume of air in a 30' x 40'

 

x 8' room approximately 12 times in one hour.

 

For the best filtering effect, the volume in a room

 

should be recirculated at least 6-8 times every

 

hour.

 

 

To calculate the recirculating rate for a given

 

volume:

 

Step 1. Calculate how long it takes to circulate

Filter

all the volume of air in a room with the air filter;

where

W = Width, L = Length and H = Height of

 

 

your room, in feet. The highest rate of air move-

 

ment for the air filter is 2000 cubic feet per min-

 

ute.

Below is a list of things to keep in mind when selecting a spot for the air filter:

Study your shop layout and try to determine the best location. Obstructed air flow will cause a short cycle effect, producing unsat- isfactory results. There must be a clearance of at least 5-10' between the front and back of the unit and any obstructions.

Try to place the air filter near areas where sanding will take place.

Try to place the unit where it is easy to access for turning on, cleaning, and main- taining.

Step 1:

9600

= 4.8 Minutes

Step 2. Calculate how many times per hour the

volume is recirculated through the air filter by

dividing 60 minutes by the amount of time it takes

to circulate the volume once. The result is listed

as times per hour.

 

 

 

 

Step 2:

= 12.5 Times per Hour
