Munters is the world\u2019s leading manufacturer of desiccant-based dehumidification systems for the HVAC industry. You may be familiar with desiccant as the small packets of drying agent often found packed with moisture sensitive items. Munters constructs large wheels of silica, often four to six feet in diameter and a foot thick. In a typical system, the wheel turns in an air handler where moist, humid air is blown through one half of the wheel while dry, hot air is blown through the other half, providing dehumidification without refrigeration. The process of cutting and machining these silica \u201cwheels\u201d produces lots of silica dust that looks similar to paper trim, but is more brittle and abrasive. Strips from 1\/4\u201d to 1\u201d wide as well as fine dust (one to three micron) must be collected.<\/p>\n

The customer\u2019s existing baghouse\/cyclone system had problems, including clogging in the discharge. Kevin Flynn of Ventilation Control Products was called in to evaluate the system and its poor performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Kevin determined that it was not just the rotary airlocks and ductwork that needed fixing, as the customer had speculated. Following his investigation and a dust sample analysis in the Camfil APC test lab<\/a>, he proposed a single GS32\u00a0 Farr Gold Series industrial dust collector<\/a> to replace the failing baghouse\/cyclone combo. It turned out to be a very competitive situation against DISA (Norfab), who was pushing their baghouse. However, Munters was willing to spend the extra money to go with Camfil APC, thanks primarily to the unique FGS system that Kevin sized up and sold.<\/p>\n

The photo above shows the inlet side of the dust collector with 24\u201d and 14\u201d inlet ducts with low-velocity transitions to the GS32 inlet. A programmable logic controller (PLC) was wired to a 60 HP fan with a variable frequency drive and auto blast gates. The PLC automatically switches the system when they stop running one process or the other. DISA was going to use two separate fans. Camfil APC wide-pleat PTSW cartridges with overbags<\/a> keep larger pieces from wedging between pleats. An on-site, hands-on demonstration<\/a> of the Farr Gold Series\u2019 features and benefits was also instrumental in securing the order, thanks to an FGS Trailer. The FGS system has been running successfully since April 2004, and Munters is happy with its operation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
