19. Collector Considerations Air Velocities –Inlet –Can / Interstitial –Media / ACR Bags4 to 8 fpm Pleated2 to 6 fpm

20. Example Application 1,880 CFM through 10” line to Model 25S(6)-10 4” Line 0.09 ft 2 350 CFM 6” Line 0.20 ft 2 785 CFM 5” Line 0.14 ft 2 545 CFM 3” Line 0.05 ft 2 200 CFM 1,880 CFM 0.47 ft 2 10” Line at 3,450 FPM 9” Line at 4,260 FPM

21. Inlet Duct = 11” Round = 0.66 ft 2 Inlet Velocity = 1,880 CFM / 0.66 ft 2 = 2,850 FPM Collector Considerations Air Velocities –Inlet –Can / Interstitial –Media / ACR

23. Collector Considerations

24. Air Velocities –Inlet –Can / Interstitial –Media / ACR 12.25 ft 2 42” Can Velocity = 1,880 CFM / 12.25 ft 2 = 155 FPM

25. Collector Considerations Air Velocities –Inlet –Can / Interstitial –Media / ACR 42” Bag Bottom Area = Qty *  * Radius 2 = 25 * 3.14 * (3”) 2 = 4.9 ft 2 Interstitial Area = 12.25 - 4.9 ft 2 = 7.35 ft 2 Interstitial Velocity = 1,880 / 7.35 = 255 FPM Interstitial = 255 / 155 = 1.6 x Can Velocity

26. Collector Considerations Air Velocities –Inlet –Can / Interstitial –Media / ACR

27. Collector Considerations Air Velocities –Inlet –Can / Interstitial –Media / ACR Bag Area = Qty *  * Diameter * Length = 25 * 3.14 * 6” * 120” = 393 ft 2 Media Velocity = 1,880/ 393 = 4.8 FPM
