This enables you to achieve an effective filtration than a central installation.
Ensure the installation is in a visible location as it enables one to conduct maintenance easily.
Consider the pressure drops when sizing the unit.
Here are the steps to test for leakages:
- Step one
Connect the cartridge filter housing to a gaseous helium tank.
- Step two
Dip the filter housing underwater and increase the pressure of the helium supply steadily.
- Step three
Perform this test at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the maximum working pressure that is allowable.
Continuously monitor the production of bubbles.
- Step four
When the production of bubbles occurs for over one minute, this illustrates that the cartridge filter housing is leaking.
The performance of a cartridge filter housing is directly proportional to its size.
This means that bigger filter housing will perform better.
Here are some factors that will influence the configuration of the cartridge filter housing:
- Filtration efficiency
- The flow rate of the filter
- The amount and features of the contaminants
- Replacement frequency of the filter
Several materials can make this system and it depends on the needs of your filtration process.
