6.1.3 Condensation: Humid air combined with cold surfaces may
result in condensation of moisture and blinding of both the
particulate and gas phase filters. This moisture can also result in
mold growth and corrosion which may also impact the performance
of the filter system. If condensation is a recurring problem,
dehumidification or other tempering of the air may be required.
System insulation may also be necessary. If the source of the
moisture is at the intake, weather hoods or weather louvers to
remove sensible moisture in the form of rain should be considered.
If the source of moisture is from leaking ducts repair the leaks.
6.1.4 Freezing: On air intake systems the presence of moisture in
the filters when caused by or combined with condensation, rain, snow,
sleet, or ice, and when subjected to freezing temperatures, can cause
the filters to freeze and become impassible. In such cases provide
intake protection systems to remove the cause of the problem.
6.2 Visible Discharge of Particulate:
6.2.1 Check for missing or damaged filters and system leaks.
Replace filters and re-seal as necessary.
6.2.2 Provide higher efficiency filters on the downstream side (air
leaving side) of the system.
6.3 Odors and Smells:
6.3.1 Check the performance of the gas phase chemical filters. If
the filters are no longer effective replace them.
6.3.2 Check for missing or damaged filters and system leaks.
Replace filters and re-seal as necessary.
