Description
The newly developed PALAS DFP 3000 compressed air filter test rig delivers fully-automated measurements of fraction separation efficiency for compressed air filters under over pressure up to 7 bar, offering better results in the process than ISO 12500. Upon request, we can also supply an additional filter holder for flat filter media. The fraction separation efficiency is measured with the new aerosol spectrometer Promo 3000 P, which is equipped with pressure-resistant Palas welas aerosol sensors for raw gas and clean gas measurements. The system offers the following advantages (among others):
- Clear determination of the particle size and concentration directly under over pressure up to 10 bar
- Automatic adjustment of the sampling volume flow in the event of pressure changes
- No diffuser, no dilution required
The DFP 3000 can be equipped with three different aerosol generators:
- For measurement of the fraction separation efficiency with oil: PLG 3000
- For burden tests, short burdening times with oil: AGF 3000
- For tests with solid particles up to 3 bar: RBG 1000 D
The largely automated setup of the test sequence together with the clearly defined individual components and the individually adjustable sequence programs of the filter test software FT Control deliver the high reliability of our measurement results. All air volume flows and the over pressure in the system are automatically monitored and adjusted. The results are presented in detailed form in tables and diagrams and analyzed. With more than 120 complete filter test systems manufactured and delivered in over 16 different versions, Palas is the world-leading manufacturer of filter test systems.
