Hi,
I'm interested in knowing what sorts of material folks use to make =
after-market dust filters for their various devices which wouldn't =
normally have any. This seems to almost be a necessity when these kinds =
of devices are deployed in environments that are overly dusty and dirty =
(it should also be implied that these environments are all in-doors and =
would have less than ideal airflow and climate control).
A material that is too dense will hider airflow and cause an immediate =
increase in inlet temperature, which would exacerbate a potentially =
threatening temperature situation in environments where the ambient =
temperature is already in the mid to high twenties and above (that's 77 =
- 86F+ for my American friends ;)). A material that is not dense enough =
won't do a very good job at filtering.
Do folks just hack up HEPA filters or something?=
