Step 1: Select filter materials based on the flammable and explosive media in the workshop (core of explosion-proof, priority judgment)<br \/>\n1. Lithium battery workshop (electrolyte, NMP, lithium powder, organic solvents)<br \/>\nMedia characteristics: prone to crystallization, oily, combustible dust, high humidity<br \/>\nRecommendation: PTFE-coated H13\/H14 high-efficiency filter<br \/>\nAdvantage: Surface filtration, dust does not penetrate the filter paper; resistant to electrolyte and organic solvents; hydrophobic and moisture-proof; dust accumulation can be blown away, life is more than 50% longer than glass fiber<br \/>\nNot recommended: Ordinary glass fiber, easily soaked by electrolyte and clogged, resistance rapidly rises.<br \/>\n2. Pharmaceutical \/ medical device explosion-proof area (alcohol, small amount of solvents, low dust)<br \/>\nMedia characteristics: Small amount of alcohol solvents, dry and clean, low dust<br \/>\nRecommendation: Ultra-fine glass fiber without partition H14<br \/>\nAdvantage: Stable filtration accuracy, initial wind pressure low, low cost, meets GMP cleanliness requirements; clean working condition, sufficient service life.<br \/>\n3. Fine chemical, daily chemical filling (large amounts of alcohol, isopropanol, oil mist)<br \/>\nRecommendation: PTFE-coated high-efficiency; can be combined with pre-filter for oil removal for severe oil contamination<br \/>\nProhibition: PP melt-blown filter material, organic solvents will destroy static electricity, filtration efficiency quickly fails.<br \/>\n4. Low-dust explosion-proof laboratory, optical assembly (almost no solvents or dust)<br \/>\nRecommendation: Ordinary glass fiber without partition H13, the most cost-effective.<br \/>\nII. Step 2: Determine filtration efficiency grade according to cleanliness requirements<br \/>\nClass 100 \/ ISO5 cleanroom: H14 ULPA \/ high-efficiency filter<br \/>\nClass 1,000, 10,000 ISO6~7 clean explosion-proof area: H13 HEPA<br \/>\nFFU top pre-filter (protecting the high-efficiency): G3\/G4 initial dust-proof net, must be equipped, significantly extends the life of the high-efficiency filter<br \/>\nHard explosion-proof requirements: Do not reduce the filtration grade, dust accumulation inside the equipment will form a combustible dust hazard.<br \/>\nIII. Step 3: Select structural form (no partition vs. flat with partition)<br \/>\n1. Select no partition high-efficiency (most standard ceiling explosion-proof FFU)<br \/>\nApplicable scenarios:<br \/>\nCeiling height is limited, original standard explosion-proof FFU does not need to change the box<br \/>\nPharmaceutical, low-dust electronics, intermittent operation workshop<br \/>\nAdvantage: Thin, initial pressure difference low, explosion-proof motor load small, temperature rise low, higher safety coefficient; cheaper consumables, installation simple.<br \/>\nShortcomings: Small dust capacity, high-dust lithium battery workshop requires frequent replacement.<br \/>\n2. Select flat with partition high-efficiency (customized deep-box explosion-proof FFU)<br \/>\nApplicable scenarios:<br \/>\nLithium battery coating, injection, chemical, etc. high-pollution 24-hour continuous production line<br \/>\nLarge air volume, high static pressure working conditions, want to reduce filter core replacement downtime<br \/>\nAdvantage: Large filtration area, high dust capacity, life extends by 20%~30%; aluminum foil support not prone to deformation, large gap for cleaning crystalline dust.<br \/>\nShortcomings: Thick requires customized FFU box, initial resistance is high, increases the load on the fan.<br \/>\nIV. Step 4: Pressure difference and fan matching (key to explosion-proof safety)<br \/>\nExplosion-proof motor does not allow long-term overload, high temperature, priority select initial resistance low filter core<br \/>\nGlass fiber without partition: initial 120\u2013160Pa, compatible with conventional explosion-proof FFU motor;<br \/>\nFlat with partition: initial 160\u2013200Pa, need to confirm sufficient static pressure reserve of the fan;<br \/>\nLithium battery high-pollution working conditions: termination replacement pressure difference is recommended to set at 280Pa, do not wait until 350Pa, to prevent motor overheating and generating ignition sources.<br \/>\nV. Step 5: Special environmental adaptation selection High humidity and condensation environment: Prefer PTFE film covering, non-creaking and non-aging; glass fiber is prone to moisture absorption and failure.<br \/>\nCorrosive acid and alkali vapors: PTFE is superior to ordinary glass fiber in chemical corrosion resistance.<br \/>\nHigh flammable dust content: Increase the dust holding structure (with partitions \/ V-shaped deep pleats) to avoid short-term blockage.<br \/>\n24-hour continuous operation: Avoid thin models without partitions, prefer models with partitions or PTFE film covering.<br \/>\nSixth step: Dimension, sealing, and matching accessories selection<br \/>\nDimension: Strictly match the length, width, and thickness of the internal card slots of the explosion-proof FFU. Non-standard dimensions require customization to avoid air leakage;<br \/>\nSealing: Select an integrated foam PU edge frame with good elasticity, preventing side leakage in the explosion-proof clean area; prohibit hard non-sealed edge frames;<br \/>\nPre-filtering combination: All explosion-proof FFU must be equipped with G4 primary dust filter screens to intercept large dust and reduce the load on the high-efficiency filter;<br \/>\nExplosion-proof matching requirements: Filter elements do not contain flammable sponge or plastic accessories, all made of flame-retardant materials.<br \/>\nQuick selection comparison table<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 144px;\" border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">Workshop conditions<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">Recommended filter material<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">Recommended structure<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">Lithium battery coating \/ Electrolyte injection<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">PTFE coated H13<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">Plate with partition<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">Pharmaceutical aseptic explosion-proof workshop<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">Fiberglass H14<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">No partition board<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">Cosmetics and alcohol filling workshop<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">PTFE coated H13<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">Without partition (moderately contaminated)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">Explosion-proof Optical Laboratory<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">Glass fiber H13<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">No partition board<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">High dust content chemical production line with 24-hour operation<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">PTFE coated H14<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 24px;\">V-shaped deep pleat efficiency<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>VIII. Model Selection and Risk Avoidance (Explosion-proof Red Line)<br \/>\nIt is not advisable to use PP melt-blown high-efficiency material to replace glass fiber\/PTFE for cost-saving purposes. The efficiency of the solvent environment will rapidly deteriorate.<br \/>\nFor high-solvent environments, ordinary glass fiber should not be selected. After the filter screen adsorbs organic solvents, there is a risk of spontaneous combustion.<br \/>\nThe original standard thin-type explosion-proof FFU should not be forcibly upgraded to a thicker model with partitions. The seal is not tight, resulting in air leakage and damaging the cleanliness and explosion-proof environment.<br \/>\nDo not cancel the pre-filtering. This will directly halve the lifespan of the high-efficiency filter element and cause frequent shutdowns for replacement.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explosion-proof FFU Filter Complete Selection Scheme (divided into 6 major dimensions, applicable to lithium battery \/ pharmaceutical \/ chemical industries) Selection logic sequence: First determine the explosion-proof working condition \u2192 Cleanliness level \u2192 Filter material \u2192 Structural form \u2192 Matching pre-filter \u2192 Dimension sealing, while taking into account explosion-proof safety and service life.
