Common Sense of Filter

Compressed air filter

It's a device that filer and purifies the compressed air. Generally refers to high-efficiency &precision filter in the compressed air system.




Working principle of filter

General filter cartridge consists of fiber medium, filter net, sponge and other materials, solid, liquid particles (droplets) condenses on the surface of filter cartridge (inside and outside) through filter material after the interception, which droplets and impurities precipitate to the bottom of the filter through gravity action by automatic or artificial discharge.



Features of general filter

Filter (activated carbon) has a limited period of use, the adsorption capacity of adsorbent will be reduced after absorbing oil. The main material of adsorption filter is absorbent, such as wool, linoleum, and cotton, and then absorbs liquid to internal part and saturating, which loses its structural advantages and quickly fails; mechanical separators and mesh type air filters usually classify by 5,10,20 and 40μm, so they are invalid for most small particles in the oil droplets.



What features apply to filter for fiberglass material?

Fiberglass can effectively separate lubricated oil droplets with 50-0.01μm diameter, it is neither absorbed nor absorbed when filtering, and it's very effective, better than other materials.


What's the working mechanism for a cohesive filter with fiberglass material as filter element?


The air flows from the middle part of filter element via four methods collecting oil drop for gravity action, inertial collision, direct interception, and penetration.


Gravity action: when airflow velocity is low in the filter, and before the oil droplets with 20-50μm diameters reaching the filter layer mostly are collected by gravity free fall, and air flow continues to fall through the filter net. The greater the airflow rate, the lower the efficiency.


Inertial collision: usually more than 1μm diameter suspension particles has a large impulse, and it's inconsistent with air flow path, thus it will inertially hit the fiber layer, the greater the airflow velocity, the greater the collision rate.


Directly intercepting: it already doesn't have usual characteristics of the liquid for particles with 0.3-1μm diameter due to too small quality, they are moving by irregular Brownian movement way, and it's inconsistent with airflow path, which can be captured more fine filter layer. The smaller the particles, the more intense the Brownian movement, the greater the probability of capture.

Modern Planning in the Field of Compressed Air

图片
In the past, people only consider the initial investment and operating energy costs such as some simple economic factors, they often overlook the influence pollutants in the compressed air for system when established a compressed air system , thus ignoring the compressed air quality (it can not reach standard will bring huge invisible waste for enterprises), and these losses are often much higher than the high quality purchase and operating costs of purification equipment. Perhaps many companies believe that compressed air equipment just little impact when select ordinary one, but what will actually appear on us? In the 1980s, the industry lagged far behind today, the developed countries put forward ISO8573 standards for the purity of compressed air as for different gas equipment, while it failed to supply the gas equipment standard of compressed air, which caused serious impact, such as shorten the service life, decrease accuracy, increase failure rate, poor quality, and the safet

The Importance of Brand Awareness

图片
Brand is an invisible asset for the enterprise, it’s also the most valuable wealth. in the rapid development of the modern life, the difference become shrinking for product performance, quality, sales service from different enterprises, so the brand will become the main factor to choose products for consumer. "Stupid businessmen sell products, smart businessmen sell brand" This sentence fully illustrates the importance of the brand for the enterprise . therefore, companies should have enough brand awareness, and strive to run the business brand. it is the core content of the product, and brand awareness isn’t all other means of marketing, such as Atlas, Ingersoll Rand, Sullair, Kobelco, etc. these enterprises prefer to brand recognition rather than products identification , and it’s also become the only element of market choice. Brand not only refers to the product quality, but also includes the appearance, technology, function, utility and others, it need long-term accumulat

“Throw a sprat to catch a herring" to get the maximum benefit in a short period

There is a question, why do we establish business? Companies just considering saving cost regardless of construction of enterprises, but it real should need the cost of consumption. later hear a manager says to the subordinate, " I have to find ways to earn back for company spent every penny", perhaps this is a lot of top management staff thought, which is good point for a top manager, then we will be reach the business target to obtain the greatest benefits in a short period.  It is not so easy to realize how to get the maximum benefit in a short period. such as a lot of leading brands seem to be impeccable, while the leading brand's business is far less flexible than some small businesses for imbalanced development of different regional market, much longer product line, and imbalanced development in different products. it is difficult to develop appropriate products and marketing strategy according to local conditions due to consider the national market.
