Install Carbon Filters and/or HEPA Filters
Refer to Figure 3-2 for a view of the filter loading compartment with the
front panel removed. The Paramount Ductless Enclosure ships without
filters that must be ordered separately. It is highly recommended that
an extra set of new filters be on hand on a continuous basis.
To remove the front panel, use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two
screws holding the front panel in position; slide the front panel forward and
then up to remove. The filter loading compartment is hinged and supported
by gas spring cylinders. Lift the handle up and remove the cardboard
packing. The cardboard packing will be replaced with filters that always
stack two high.
The Paramount Ductless Enclosure has seven different filter types identified
below:
6938100 HEPA Filter, 15" x 18" x 1.5", 99.99% efficient particulate on 0.3 micron
6938200 Activated Carbon Filter, Organic Vapor 7.5 lbs.
6938201 Impregnated Carbon Filter Acid-Sulfur 10 lbs.
6938202 Impregnated Carbon Filter, Ammonia-Amine 11 lbs.
6938203 Impregnated Carbon Filter, Formaldehyde-Formalin 10 lbs.
6938204 Mixed Bed Carbon Filter, Org. Vap., Acid-Sul., Ammon, Form (25% Mix) 10 lbs.
6938205 Impregnated Carbon Filter, Radioisotope 10 lbs.
All impregnated Carbon Filters, specific chemical treated, have an organic
vapor capacity of 25%. Mixed Bed Carbon Filters have an organic vapor
capacity of 50%. For example, the Impregnated Acid Filter has 25% of 10
pounds or 2.5 pounds of organic vapor capacity. Thus, a common application
using solvents with acids would require one Activated Carbon Filter for
organic vapors and one Impregnated Acid Filter for acid vapors.
Any combination of two filter types may be used. Filters are always loaded
with the gasket side up. If placing the Paramount Ductless Enclosure in a
clean room, always place the HEPA filter above the carbon filter to eliminate
any trace carbon particles from entering the clean room. Load the stacked
filters into the individual filter compartments. The Paramount model sizes,
filter compartments, and number of filters are listed below for installation
convenience.
