There are multiple types of chemical filters, each with its unique design and application. Here are some common types:
1. Packed Bed Chemical Filters: This is the most common type, available as either a cabinet-embedded or duct-connected filter. Packed bed filters consist of a pipe with a filter core filled with granular adsorbent material encased in a housing. Fluid (gas) passes through the pipe into the filter core, where pollutants are filtered out through the pores or surface of the material. Clean fluid then exits the filter core. The choice of filling material, such as honeycomb activated carbon boxes, varies based on the need to target acids, alkalis, organic gases, or odor removal.
2. V-Bank Pleated Chemical Filters: These filters use a pleated structure with non-woven fabric containing activated carbon and spaced V-shaped and half V-shaped screens inside.
3. Flat Plate Chemical Filters: These filters are the simplest form, with the adsorbent tightly packed into a cavity formed by a metal mesh and secured by a frame.
4. Cartridge Chemical Filters: Comprising end caps, baseplates, circular inner and outer nets, the cartridge filter body is made of galvanized or stainless steel. The carbon cartridge metal shell is reusable, with the installation frame made of cold-rolled steel plate spray-painted or stainless steel.
Additionally, there are other types of chemical filters such as granular filters, activated carbon filters, microfilters, pressure filters, gravity filters, bag filters, and membrane filters, each with specific applications for removing pollutants of various sizes and types.
Chemical filters come in diverse types, allowing for suitable selection based on specific requirements and applications.
