Choose the Right Electrostatic Filter: Criteria to Consider

AI Thread Summary
When choosing an electrostatic filter, key criteria include particle size, flow rate, and required filter efficiency. It's important to consider the specific application, such as using it in a commercial kitchen, which may have unique demands. Energy consumption is a critical factor due to the ionization process, making power efficiency a significant consideration. Understanding the purpose of the filter can guide the selection process effectively. Overall, evaluating both performance and energy efficiency is essential for optimal filter choice.

What are the criteria for choosing an elctrostatic filter?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Probably very similar to choosing any other filter- particle size, flow rate, required filter efficiency, etc.

Step 1 is easier though, why do you want an electrostatic filter?
 
I'm using it for a commercial kitchen in a univesity
 
But since it uses ionization which means it will use a relatively high amount amount of energy (correct me if I'm wrong)... dun u need to c if it is power efficient as well (power consumption) ?
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
