Air Intake Filtration Prevents & Solves Air Intake Problems



Improves Environmental Air Quality and Process Cooling Efficiency :

Today more than ever before, mechanical, maintenance and process engineers are being challenged to provide effective solutions that help to optimize environmental air quality and process cooling efficiency, while reducing downtime and maintenance cost.

Regardless of the technology used to process incoming fresh air, the challenge has always been keeping cooling towers and other HVAC systems clean because as fresh air is drawn from the outside into the system, it brings along with it a wide range of airborne debris that can impact air quality and clog the system, ultimately leading to downtime for cleaning and maintenance.

In facilities that rely upon process cooling for robotic assembly, injection molding or other production applications, downtime due to system fouling is particularly costly because of lost productivity.

The Benefits of Air Intake Filtration On Your Systems:

Air Handling Units
- air intake filters help to optimize environmental air quality and reduce filter changes by extending the life of internal filters by up to 60%

Cooling Towers
- air intake filters help prevent fill material from getting clogged, helps prevent sludge build-up in water basins and helps optimize water chemical treatments while reducing chemical consumption. Additionally, by diffusing entry of sunlight into the tower and stopping entry of organic debris (a nutrient source for bacteria), air intake filters help to thwart the growth of algae and fight proliferation of bacteria, including Legionella, the cause of Legionnaire's Disease. Unlike water and sand filter systems that only filter debris from the cooling water, air intake filters helps keep debris out of the system in the first place and protects expensive fill material and cooling water so the system operates efficiently.

Chillers and Condenser Units
- air intake filters keep coils free of debris for optimal cooling efficiency and eliminates downtime due to fouling. Also eliminates the need for coil cleaning solvents and power washing that can damage oils and fins.

Air Solution Company developed and patented the first Air Intake Filter specifically engineered to mount to the outside of cooling towers and other HVAC equipment for purposes of stopping the debris before it entered into the system. Since that time, Air Solution Company has been manufacturing and has introduced a variety of other innovative filter systems including its new Fine Mesh Filter which is engineered for use on small and medium size refrigeration coils and machine fan intake housing units.
