Buy Filter Integrity Test Apparatus From Zetron

With the development of China's environmental protection activities, China's environmental monitoring technology has also made great progress. The production of environmental monitoring instruments has reached a certain scale. At the same time, with the diversification of flammable gas detectors, other gas detection devices have also appeared on the market.



For example, the four-in-one gas detector guarantees people's work and life to a certain extent.



Four-in-one gas detector uses a special circuit to measure the detector current. After the combustible gas enters the circuit chamber, half of the gas is ignited enough to contain the combustion catalyst.



When the gas burns, the heat and power circuit passing through the current test area change. This change will activate the warning device.




Infrared combustible gas detector works completely differently. The gas entering the test chamber will generate radiation. In fact, upon reaching the gas, half of the gas entering the receiver returns to the transmitter.







The detector measures the intensity of the two beams to determine whether there is combustible gas. If they are the same, everything is fine, but changes in the beam intensity on the air side can cause problems.



Risk of toxic gas leakage in many industrial processing plants, such as chemical products, oil/gas, electricity, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, pulp/paper and sewage treatment, usually including pipes, valves, tanks, burners, refrigerators, shunts, lighting systems , Aeration boxes and other equipment.



When the four-in-one gas detection instrument detects toxic gas, the gas detector should first pay attention to the inherent problem: adjust the concentration and other characteristics to a high concentration according to the chemical stability of the toxic gas.



The response time of the sample is usually very slow due to the inactive active traction force that depends on the airflow. The calibration of 4-gas detectors is usually very difficult, requiring the conversion of special parts and the expansion of operating modes, as well as flow calibration.



The meaning of flow diffusion implied by monitoring and calibration is not always a good record.



Then, if adjustment is required through the control panel, the calibration may become complicated, and the detection head of the remote diffusion gas detector may be affected by the gas. Some applications may generate interfering gases.



Sample extraction method can place the sensor upstream of the sensor by a chemical cleaning machine to absorb noise. After the surrounding pressure sensors are diffused, all gas sensors will measure the partial pressure, actively extract the sensor samples, and work at a slightly higher pressure.



Therefore, the output sensitivity of the sample stretcher is usually higher than the output sensitivity of the diffusion sensor. In gases with low toxicity, this may be an important regulatory level. But it has the characteristics of how much toxic gas is needed.

As the epidemic continues to develop, masks have become a necessity for our travels, and are indispensable to ward off bacterial viruses and microscopic particles from passing through the respiratory tract to the human body. Wearing a mask is to block airborne droplets with germs, and the requirements for material and filtration efficiency are particularly important.







With the spread of foreign epidemics, the problem of insufficient supplies for epidemic prevention in various countries is very prominent. As a major manufacturing country, China has become the first choice for countries to purchase epidemic prevention materials. The "mask filtration efficiency tester", which is the most in demand nowadays, is used to test the protection effect and filtration efficiency of daily protective masks and respirators against particulate matter, and is also called particulate matter protection effect and filtration efficiency tester, particulate matter filtration efficiency tester, etc.







Here, We uses professional equipment to show you how to test the high efficiency filtration of particulate matter.








Aerosol photometer





Aerosol photometer is a front scattering linear photometer. It is composed of vacuum pump, light scattering chamber, photomultiplier tube, signal processing converter and microprocessor. Its working principle is: the airflow is extracted to the light scattering chamber by the vacuum pump, and the particulate matter inside will scatter the light to the photomultiplier tube, in which the light is converted into an electrical signal, and then after a series of digital analysis and processing, it will become the reading on the screen.



PM-350 aerosol photometer for pharmaceutical and food production enterprises is used for on-site leak detection after the installation of high efficiency filters and their systems, mainly to check small pinholes and other damages in the filter material, such as frame seals, gasket seals and leaky seams on the filter frame. The purpose of leak detection is to detect the defects in the high efficiency filter itself and installation in time by checking the sealing of the high efficiency filter and its connection parts with the installation frame, etc., and take corresponding remedial measures to ensure the cleanliness of the area.







PM-350 aerosol photometer can automatically switch upstream and downstream aerosol concentrations to determine whether the filter has leaks. The portable scanning probe enables the operator to quickly and accurately identify leak points in remote locations and determine other leak ratios, and the display panel will show an alarm when the alarm boundary is exceeded.





Aerosol generator

The aerosol photometer is used in conjunction with an aerosol generator for leak detection of high efficiency filters. In fact, in many practical tests, an aerosol generator is required to continuously and steadily produce aerosol particles of adjustable concentration with a fixed particle size distribution. Aerosols are mainly designed with special nozzles. Compressed air is blown through a circular slot into the atomized liquid. The shearing force between the nozzle and the liquid is fully dispersed in the so-called annular gap, forming tiny aerosol particles with a large inertial collider volume. When the aerosol particles return to the liquid container, the output particle size is mainly distributed between 0.1 and 10 microns. It is suitable for leak detection of clean rooms and high efficiency filters in medical device inspection institutions, disease prevention and control centers, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and high efficiency over device manufacturers.







The AG-1800 aerosol generator can produce aerosol particles with a wide range of diameter distributions, providing enough particles to measure high efficiency filter systems when used with a photometer (flow rate range from 1.500-65,000 cubic feet per minute). Easy to operate, stable performance, suitable for certification, HEPA performance testing and installation.

About high efficiency filter leak detection: For food and drug manufacturers, high efficiency filter leak detection refers to the on-site leak detection after the installation of high efficiency filter and its system, mainly to check the small pinholes and other damages in the filter material, such as frame seal, gasket seal and leaky seams on the filter frame. The purpose of leak detection is to check the sealing of the high efficiency filter and its connection parts with the installation frame, find the defects in the high efficiency filter itself and in the installation in time, and take corresponding remedial measures to ensure the cleanliness of the area. Whether there is leakage. The purpose of dust generation is that the dust concentration upstream of the high efficiency filter is low, so if a particle counter is used to detect the leak without dust generation, it is difficult to detect the leak, and additional dust generation is needed to obviously and easily detect the leak.

Note: Heating occurs when oily particles are heated and evaporated and then blown into the system air inlet by inert gas, suitable for the end of the whole air conditioning system for high efficiency filter detection, the advantage is that the whole system only needs a place to produce dust , after the filter upstream concentration is stable, you can test the filters one by one, reducing the time of frequent change of dust production points and debugging dust concentration, also saves the PAO oil for debugging. The disadvantage is that there should be a long section of mixed cold generation ten times the diameter of the air duct, which is not suitable for local FFU units without air supply duct at the top, and not suitable for single biosafety cabinets and clean benches.



Cold generation is made of compressed air and pressurized PAO oil, which is sprayed by Laskin nozzles, and the working number of nozzles is used to adjust the size of dust concentration, which is suitable for local FFU units and clean benches of biosafety cabinets without air supply ducts. There is no thermal occurrence of the convenience, there are also air conditioning systems because of the inconvenience of segmentation detection, and can not use this type of dust generation small amount of dust generation instrument.

For food and drug manufacturers, leak detection refers to the on-site leak detection of high efficiency filters and their systems after installation, mainly to check small pinholes and other damages in the filter material, such as frame seals, gasket seals and leaky seams on the filter frame. The purpose of leak detection is to check the tightness of the HEPA filter and its connection with the installation frame, to detect any defects in the HEPA filter itself and in the installation, and to take corresponding remedial measures to ensure the cleanliness of the area. Whether there is a leak. The purpose of dust generation is to detect leaks without dust generation, as the concentration of dust particles upstream of the HEPA filter is low and it is difficult to detect leaks with a particle counter.
