Glossary of Terms
Autogates/Blast Gates:
Blast gates are gate valves used to focus a dust collection
system's vacuum pressure for maximum dust (or other material) extraction at the
desired location. Blast gates are positioned near individual pieces of machinery and
operate by being, by default, closed — blocking air flow. They are opened as needed
to achieve the desired air velocities at the specific inlet point.
Containment:
This term is used to describe the portion of the dust collector that is
collecting particulate for removal and/or disposal. This is typically either a hopper, or
a tray.
Control Panel (RV-3.0):
A RoboVent Control System that controls the Blower and Pulsing
functions through an easy to understand Interface. Control the pulse timing and
trigger points; Set Filter service alarms; setup Automatic Run schedules. Operate
and control the blower speed manually or automatically through the control screen.
Monitor Filter pressure and see operation events.
Damper:
A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of air inside a duct,
chimney, VAV box, air handler, or other air-handling equipment. A damper may be
used to cut off central air conditioning (heating or cooling) to an unused room, or to
regulate it for room-by-room temperature and climate control.
Delta3:
RoboVent’s proprietary Spark Arrestor that utilizes cylindrical force and air patterns
to extinguish sparks and prevent then from entering a dust collection system.
Differential Pressure:
The difference in pressure between the dirty air side of the
enclosed plenum and the clean air side of the enclosed plenum. This difference
quantifies the amount of loading across the cartridge filters installed in the machine
and allows you to monitor and understand when a filter change is necessary.
Typically measured in either KPA (Kilopascal) or Inches of Water Column (Notated by
SP or WC).
Fire Suppression System:
A system that is installed onto an industrial machine, e.g.
a dust collector, to control a fire from spreading. These systems allow necessary
personnel to get to the scene of the event and react appropriately, while using gas
or chemical agents in the space the event occurred to limit its immediate damage.
Hexavalent Chromium:
Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is one of the valence states (+6)
of the element chromium. It is usually produced by an industrial process. Cr(VI) is
known to cause cancer. In addition, it targets the respiratory system, kidneys, liver,
skin and eyes. Chromium metal is added to alloy steel to increase hardenability and
corrosion resistance. A major source of worker exposure to Cr(VI) occurs during "hot
