HBOS Vapor Adsorbers
The use of vapor adsorbers to remove contaminants from industrial air has been very well documented and has proven effective for the protection of sensitive electronic equipment in rack rooms and control centers, as well as more robust equipment that commonly resides in switch gear rooms.
While pellet-based vapor adsorbers remain the predominant systems in use today, honeycomb carbon based vapor adsorbers have been deployed very successfully since 2006. There are advantages to both types of systems, and customers decide on which systems to deploy based on numerous factors that are discussed in detail prior to quoting a piece of equipment for a target application.
The basic principle of the two systems are identical. but at HBOS Specialty Carbons, both our pellet-based and honeycomb-based systems are "blow-thru" designs. This means that the blowers force contaminated air through the filtration media, then purified air enters the target space. This is a superior design to "draw-thru" systems that draw in unfiltered contaminated air and inadvertently flood target spaces with foul air.
The smallest vapor adsorber in the product line is the SEAPU (Small Enclosure Air Purification Unit) and operates at either 40 or 90 CFM (at a flip of the switch) based on the target space requirements. This system uses HBOS extruded honeycomb media. All other HBOS systems are scaled up depending on the volume of the space to be protected. and the media selection of the client (pellet or module based)
Systems are skid mounted, and utilize either 304 or 316 Stainless steel construction. Motors are based on design requirements, static pressure, and CFM targets. Simple vapor adsorber designs are common throughout the industry, but the key component is the media being utilized, and HBOS media is the best available in the market for these applications.
