A particulate air filter is a device composed of fibrous materials which removes solid particulates such as dust, pollen, mold, and bacteria from the air. A chemical air filter consists of an absorbent or catalyst for the removal of airborne molecular contaminants such as volatile organic compounds or ozone. Air filters are used in applications where air quality is important, notably in building ventilation systems and in engines. Some buildings, as well as aircraft and other man-made environments (e.g., satellites and space shuttles) use foam, pleated paper, or spun fiberglass filter elements. Another method, air ionisers, use fibers or elements with a static electric charge, which attract dust particles. The air intakes of internal combustion engines and compressors tend to use either paper, foam, or cotton filters. Oil bath filters have fallen out of favor. The technology of air intake filters of gas turbines has improved significantly in recent years, due to improvements in the aerodynamics and fluid-dynamics of the air-compressor part of the Gas Turbines.

From Google News Search: "Air filter" Can you clean a dirty air filter? Q. The filter in my air conditioning/heating unit (in my apartment) is extremely dirty. Maintenance is supposed to come and change them once a month, but I guess they haven't gotten around to it this month. I plan on getting a new one soon, but I'm wondering - is it possible to clean them somehow, until I get a new one? I've noticed that since it has been dirty, the system is much louder (running the heat OR the a/c). Could this be due to the dirty filter, or may there be something else wrong with the system?

Usually when air filters are dirty the system is stressing and working harder to suck in as much air as its shooting out cause it cant shoot out air if it can't suck it in to cool it down or heat it up. You can use a hose attachment on a vacume cleaner just be very careful and gentle the filters are easy to damage if there the cheap kind. If your vacum cleaner has a setting for low, use it. Another option is to clan off all the big stuff off the filter then use a can of air, ususally sold at computer stores or walmart in the electronics dept by their computer stuff, and blow all the dust off from both sides.

Asked by a_houston05 - Sat Jul 8 15:56:44 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Eventually yes. The reason the evaporator will get filled with dust and restrict airflow. At some point the unit will continually ice up because of no air passing through it to carry the cold away (actually to provide nornmal air to the evaporator to be cooled) Answered by M D - Sat Jul 8 16:02:49 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Air filter" |
