Introduction
This Know-how quick guide gives the reader a quick and good overview of the different applications and some general
basic guidance in the dimensioning of different filter types within the Nederman product portfolio.

The know how quick guide came into being by the collection of empirical data and general application knowledge
available amongst various employees. It will give the reader typical ranges for conveying velocities, filter velocities and
filter selection. However, it cannot be specific and valid in each and every individual installation. This is a clear
limitation, hence it can only be used as a rule of thumb and general guidance.

COMMON DEFINITIONS & TERMS
AIR VOLUME – The quantity of air being moved and can be expressed as:
 Nm³/h. (Normal meters cubed per hour) – The air volume at a temperature of 0ºC and zero altitude
 Sm³/h. (Standard meters cubed per hour) – The air volume at a temperature of 20ºC and zero altitude
 Am³/h. (Actual meters cubed per hour) – The air volume at the actual temperature and actual altitude
STATIC PRESSURE (SP) – The pressure which a fan must exert in order to cause air to flow.
VELOCITY (DYNAMIC) PRESSURE (VP) – The kinetic pressure in the direction of air flow (Cause the air at rest to flow at a given
velocity.)
TOTAL PRESSURE (TP) – The sum of the losses of the component parts of an LEV system. (TP = SP + VP)
LEV – Local exhaust ventilation system.
TRANSPORT (CONVEYING) VELOCITY – The speed at which the air is travelling through a duct and keeping the particles in the
air stream in suspension.
CAPTURE VELOCITY – The air velocity at any point in front of hood, or at the hood opening necessary to overcome opposing air
currents and to capture the contaminated air at that point, by causing it to flow into the hood.
ENTRY LOSS – Loss in pressure caused by air flowing into a duct, hood or enclosure
FILTER SPEED (VELOCITY) – The filter speed is the ratio of the air volume divided by the area of the filter.
NTP – Normal temperature and pressure, at 0ºC and zero meters altitude.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY (RH) – The ratio of the actual partial pressure of the water vapor in a space, to the saturation pressure of
pure water at the same temperature.
DEW POINT – The dew point temperature is the temperature at which air can no longer hold all of its water vapor, and the water
will condense into liquid water.
ACID DEW POINT – The acid dew point of a flue gas (a combustion product gas) is the temperature at which any gaseous acid in
the flue gas will start to condense into liquid acid.
DENSITY – Is defined as the mass of many particles of the material divided by the total volume they occupy.

FILTER SPEED – Also known as FILTER VELOCITY & AIR to CLOTH RATIO.
 m/min – Meters per minute.
 m³/m²/h. – Meters cubed per meter squared per hour.
 ft/min or fpm – Feet per minute.
TRANSPORT VELOCITY:
 m/s – Meters per second
 m/min – Meters per minute
 ft/min or fpm – Feet per minute

FILTRATION VELOCITIES & FILTER MEDIA
The following data is offered as a guideline only. There are a range of filter loads for each application and type of filter. If in any doubt consult The Product Owner.

When making a selection, the following criteria should be considered:

 Dust load – the higher the dust load the lower the filtration velocity.
 Particle size and shape analysis – the smaller the particle size the lower the filtration velocity.
 Emission guarantees – the lower the emission level, the lower the filtration velocity
 Temperature – the higher the temperature the lower the filter velocity.
 Hours of operation per day – the longer (24/7) the lower the filter velocity.
 Moisture content – this could also have dew point related issues.
 Other properties to consider, is it – Abrasive, Toxic, Explosive, Hydroscopic, what is the Bulk Density?

1. P min and P max as typically setup and delivered from factory in DFC-08M or FilterMax dP Controller. Initial settings should typically be increased after filters are seasoned to optimize customer performance.
Remember to reset to initial settings at time of filter changing and increase as filters are seasoned.
2. End pressure is not a setting in the pulse controller. It is just a guide to be used when designing the system and for discussion with end user on proper system design that meets their needs. Many competitors use
lower settings, resulting in shorter filter life and more frequent filter changes.
3. End Pressure is not alarm pressure. Alarm should also be set higher. Default in DFC-08M is 2300 pascals (9.3 inch H2O)

1. Technical leaflets are best source for current/up-to-date information on all cartridges.
2. ASHRAE 52.2 – most MERV numbers are estimated except CA 178 media. Estimates are based on flat sheet data tests, not actual cartridge assembled tests.
3. Maximum temperature is for the media itself, not complete cartridge. Due to materials of construction, a cartridges maximum temperature is likely to be lower. See cartridge technical leaflet for details.

Cartridge media selection guide (from

1. Use as a guide in selecting the best filter material for the application. Other filters may work and discussing with Product & Application team is advisable when necessary.
2. If a cartridge media is not available for the cartridge collector you are working with, contact the appropriate product center for availability and price. Use TMS or other systems as appropriate.

Potentially combustible: This is only a guideline and each application should be checked individually to ensure due diligence for the customer and liability protection for Nederman.
Most potentially combustible dusts have a recommendation of an antistatic filter. If material collected is determined to be not combustible, other medias can be used.
Potentially Hygroscopic: Caution on installations where moisture may be present due to the process, surrounding processes, and when outdoor installation may present moisture (crossing the dew point)
Most hygroscopic dusts, at some point, will get wet inside the dust collector. If antistatic media is not selected due to combustible dust, dust release/PTFE coated should be considered where
air may be damp or wet.
Potentially Abrasive: Consider inlet design to reduce risk of abrasion. Ducting, especially elbows and branches may need to be reinforced or made of heavier materials to reduce frequent maintenance/replacement.
Avoid CA 175, PTFE, polypropylene and other soft medias on abrasive dusts, unless abrasion risk is reduced.
Potentially Agglomerative: Caution on using cartridges as dust can easily bridge between tight spaced filters and caught in the pleats of the cartridge.
