  • ANSWER - 1 micrometer ___________ (size) particles behave like a gas, have negligible settling rates, and are affected by Brownian Motion. - ANSWER
  • Particles less than 0.1 micrometers Rated flow of air through a filter at specified pressure drop is called _____? - ANSWER - Capacity The four principles of air filtration are? - ANSWER - 1. Impingement
  1. Interception
  2. Diffusion
  3. Straining If Static Pressure goes up, Velocity Pressure goes _______? - ANSWER - Down (SP + VP = TP) In the filter industry, a manometer is used to measure? - ANSWER - Pressure drop across a filter An Electronic Air Cleaner collects particles by? - ANSWER - Electrostatically charging them and collecting them on oppositely charged plates. What is the formula for expressing air flow through a duct? - ANSWER - Q=A*V Quantity = Area of the Duct * Velocity of Air _____________ is the pressure within the duct that is capable of bursting the duct and may be positive or negative. - ANSWER
  • Static Pressure

Which of the following would be the best description of the straining filtration principle? - ANSWER - Static pressure is measured in which direction? - ANSWER - All directions Air flows because the fan creates what? - ANSWER - It creates a positive pressure to the duct system What happens to our pressure if we enlarge a portion of the duct work to twice the size? - ANSWER - Static Pressure goes up Velocity Pressure goes down Total Pressure remains the same When a filter loads static pressure goes _____, and the velocity pressure goes ______. - ANSWER - up; down Adhesives add what to a filter? - ANSWER - They give a force to better hold capture particles.

Brownian motion is best descried as - ANSWER - Particles bounce into one another as they flow through an air stream. Impingement filters are characterized by _________ and ____________. - ANSWER - Relatively high velocities, low pressure drop The velocity of the air through any one square foot of media in an extended surface filter is called? - ANSWER - Media Velocity Having larger fibers on the air entering side and smaller fibers on the air exit side is called? - ANSWER - Graduated density Baffle grease filters must meet the requirements of NFPA Standard? - ANSWER - 96 Lofted Glass Media can be found most often in what style(s) of filters? - ANSWER - Pocket Filters or Rigid Filters
