What are the typical types of mist collection equipment?
a. Media Type: This type of equipment comes with cleanable and/or replaceable filters manufactured from a variety of materials and in a variety of efficiencies. In addition to mist collection, these can frequently be modified to meet unique conditions including for the capture and removal of smoke and fumes and odors and dust. b. Centrifugal Type: This type of collector has a finely balanced rotating drum that acts as the blower as well as filter. It is compact in size, but typically is limited to about 1200 CFM maximum and frequently requires prefilters due to type of coolants being used and the type of application (i.e.: iron machining; aluminum machining; grinding). c. Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP): The ESP is highly efficient for small particulate, such as smoke, but requires a high amount of maintenance to maintain it’s air cleaning efficiency, otherwise it simply exhausts dirty air back into your plant environment. These operate by ionizing particles (mist, smoke, dust) and co
