COOLING COILS
Cooling coils are usually made of copper tubing
with alluminium fins.
The no. of fins placed per centimeter is called
fin density.
The surface area provided by the fins and
available for heat exchange is called
secondary area.
The inner surface area of tubes through which
3
water flows is called as primary area.
The performance of a cooling coil depends on following
factors:
The amount of sensible and latent heat that must be
transferred from the air
DBT and WBT of air entering and leaving
Water or refrigerant velocity

HEATING COILS
The heating of air could be carried out by many
devices
Steam coils
Hot water coil
Electric heaters

DRY FILTERS
The dust in the air will be trapped when it is
passed through this filtering medium.
The velocity of air allowed through these filters
ranges between 2m to 5m/min.
Dry filters remove tiny dust particles of 0.3 to
10µ diameter very satisfactorily.
The dry-type filters are not capable to remove
the smoke from air
12
VISCOUS FILTERS
These filters are made in form of pads using
glass wool , steel wool. These pads are
impregnated with viscosine which is oily
substance.
Viscous filters are available from 80m 3/min to
600m3/min flow of air.
13
ELECTRIC FILTERS
Air is passed between a pair of oppositely
charged conductors and it becomes ionised as the
voltage applied between the conductors is
sufficiently large(8000 to 15000V).
This unit consists of set of vertical plates spaced
15 to 20mm apart. alternate plates are positively
charged and earthed and attract the negatively
and positively charged dust particles respectively.
To remove the dust accumulation, the collector
plates are cleaned periodically by washing them
with hot water spray
14
CENTRIFUGAL DUST COLLECTORS
A high velocity air stream is directed into a
conical chamber. This produces a whirling air
current within the chamber and throws the
heavier dust particles to the sides and fall out of
air stream and are collected at bottom of
cleaner.
15
SELECTION OF FILTERS
Factors to be considered in evaluating the
suitability of air filter
The degree of air cleanliness required
Amount of air handled
Type of dust particles to be filtered
The method of disposal of collected dust
16
ODOUR SUPPRESSION
Use of activated carbon (charcoal) for removing
gases and odours by ADSORPTION
