Working principle of panel air filter

The panel air filter is a device for purifying air. If the dust, sand and various impurities in the air directly enter the engine cylinder for combustion, they will accelerate the wear of the engine, reduce the service life of the engine and even cause serious damage to the engine. The rapid development of air filter is closely related to the progress of military industry and electronic industry. During the first World War, due to the use of various chemical poisons in air filters, military gas masks with asbestos fiber filter paper as smoke filter layer emerged over time.

The glass fiber filter medium for air filtration was patented in the United States in October 1940. In the 1950s, the United States conducted in-depth research on the production technology of glass fiber filter paper and improved and opened up air filters. In the 1960s, HEPA filter came out; In the 1970s, HEPA filters using micro glass fiber filter paper as filter media had a high filtration efficiency of 99.9998% for particles with a size of 0.13 microns. Since the 1980s, with the emergence of new test methods, the improvement of use evaluation and the improvement of filter performance requirements, it has been found that HEPA filters have serious problems, so ULPA filters with higher performance have been produced.

Working principle of air filter 1. Working principle in pneumatic technology, air filter, pressure reducing valve and oil mist are called pneumatic three parts. In order to obtain multiple functions, the three air source processing elements are often assembled together in order, which is called pneumatic triplet. It is used for air source purification, filtration, decompression and lubrication. The installation sequence of the three parts is air filter, pressure reducing valve and oil mist according to the air inlet direction. The three large parts are indispensable air source devices in most pneumatic systems. They are installed near the air equipment and are the final guarantee of compressed air quality. In addition to ensuring the quality of the three large parts, their design and installation should also consider factors such as space saving, convenient operation and installation, and arbitrary combination. The compressed air flowing in from the inlet is introduced into the deflector. There are evenly distributed inclined teeth similar to fan blades on the deflector, forcing the high-speed compressed air to rotate strongly along the tangent direction of the teeth. The liquid water, oil and large impurities mixed in the air are separated under the action of strong centrifugal force, thrown onto the inner wall of the water cup and flow to the bottom of the water cup. Remove liquid water, oil and compressed air with large impurities, and then further filter through the filter element to remove small solid particles, and then output clean compressed air from the outlet. The umbrella water baffle (5) separates the water cup into upper and lower parts, and maintains a pressure static area at the lower part, which can prevent the high-speed rotating air flow from sucking up the water and oil at the bottom of the cup. The water and oil gathered at the bottom of the cup shall be discharged from the drain valve, and the air filter must be installed vertically downward. Features: the inner cavity of the filter shell is anodized, and the shell is sprayed with epoxy resin dry powder. The fiber diameter in the equipment is small and the surface is smooth. The filter element adopts special anti leakage technology to ensure the filtering effect. It can effectively filter solid impurities and oil mist, and quickly eliminate oil mist. The filter element adopts imported borosilicate glass fiber.

The air filter takes the filter medium as the main filtering means. When the air passes through the filtered air filter, the filter paper will block the impurities in the air and stick them to the filter element, so as to achieve the effect of air filtration. The dry inertia air filter is composed of a dust removal cover, a deflector, a dust outlet, a dust collecting cup, etc. Its working principle is to use the suction force generated by the cylinder in the intake air to generate a pressure difference inside and outside the air filter. Under the action of pressure, the external air enters the air filter at a higher speed to throw the dust mixed in the air into the dust collecting cup to complete the air filtration. The wet inertia air filter is mainly composed of central pipe, oil pool, etc. Its working principle is that after the air enters the filter, it goes down along the central pipe at a high speed, rushes to the oil level of the oil pool, and the movement direction suddenly changes to upward, resulting in rotational movement. At this time, some dust with large mass is adhered to the oil because it is too late to reverse upward with the air due to inertia to complete the air filtration. Dry filter air filter is composed of paper filter element and sealing washer. Its working principle is that when air enters the filter, it is filtered through the paper filter element, so that the dust in the air is separated or adhered to the filter element by the filter element. The wet filter air filter is composed of a metal filter screen soaked in engine oil. Its working principle is that when the air filtered by the oil bath passes through the metal filter screen soaked in engine oil, fine dust particles are blocked, and some dust particles adhere to the filter screen and drip into the oil together with the engine oil.

LENGE has also made great progress in the design of the filter itself, the most important of which is the elimination of separators, that is, the development of non separable filters. The non baffle filter not only removes the danger of baffle damaging the filter medium, but also effectively increases the filter area, improves the filter efficiency, reduces the air resistance, and reduces the energy consumption. In addition, the air filter has made great progress in high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, water repellent and antibacterial to meet some special needs.
