Additional notes

The Left Filter/Frame is used in the Das Duct Fan ASM Millennium Data Acquisition System (MDAS) H16, which is part of the Computed Tomography (CT) system. It is fixed left side of the Das Duct Fan ASM H16. The main purpose of the filter is to stop dust from entering into CT systems. Cooler air is drawn by the system, which contains dust and impurities and contaminants. The dust may cause a temperature change in the system. The filter is placed over the inlet of the system, thus ensuring the patients a safe ventilation. Filters are rated on their ability to remove particles of a certain size from the air. The material used for the filter is a uni-foam which is a reticulated, open cell polyether based polyurethane foam. Has excellent resistance to water and humidity, and is therefore ideal for water and air filtration. Filter foam, with a medium porosity 45 PPI works as a depth loading filter, opposed to a surface loading filter, trapping dust particles within its cell structure. It can withstand very high and very low temperatures (-40° C to +100° C), without any change in its properties. The duct filter comes along with steel channel frame with the foam attached to it.
