4. Element Cleaning - Inlet Filtration
Solberg elements should be cleaned or replaced, once the pressure drop
reaches 15 to 20-inches water column (380 - 500mm WC) above the initial
pressure drop of the installation.
The decision to clean the element rather than replace it is left to the discretion of
the operator. Any damage which results from by-pass or additional pressure drop
created by element cleaning is the sole responsibility of the operator.
*WARNING*
The overall performance of a filter element is
altered once cleaned.
The initial pressure drop after cleaning will be
greater than the original, clean pressure drop
of the element.
After each subsequent cleaning, the initial
pressure drop will continue to increase.
Under all circumstances, the initial pressure
drop of the element needs to be maintained at
less than 20-inches water column (500mm
WC).
Cleaned elements that exceed 20-inches water
column (500mm WC) at start-up should be
replaced with new elements.
With many types of equipment, the maximum pressure drop allowed will be
dictated by the ability of the equipment to perform to its rated capacity. Under all
