INSTALLATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Prism is a reduced footprint fan/filtration unit combination
designed with welding and plasma cutting systems in mind. The
4 to 72 filter configurations can provide extraction capacity for just
about any automated system with hoods or extraction arms.
Pre-assembly and Lincoln Smart Connect™ technology allow for
easy and quick installation.
The fan pulls the air with particulate through the filters. When the
pressure over the filter reaches a preset point, the internal self
cleaning mechanism begins to clean the filter cartridges by means
of compressed air shots, resulting in the particulate dropping into
a dustbin at the bottom of the unit.
Prism “L” series units also provide mounting location flexibility
for the main control cabinet. For outdoor installed filter banks, the
main control panel is mounted conveniently indoors to provide
easy access to start/stop and monitoring functions. Control of the
fan motor’s Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) and the unit’s cleaning
pulse valves are low voltage cabling to the main control panel.
THE INTENDED PURPOSE
Extraction of fumes that are released in the course of using
welding equipment for cutting and joining non-alloy and alloy
steels, including highalloy chromium/nickel steels with a nickel
and chromium content of ≥ 30%
