How can workshops and warehouses use NanoFlashing?

Is the proposed product suitable for a combustible-dust environment?

The label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter sets where the filter is used: forced-air heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems in homes, businesses and institutions that take a panel filter of the stated size and run at or below the rated airflow and maximum face velocity. A combustible-dust environment is outside what the company claims, and the company publishes no assessment for one.

Could an electrically insulating filter interfere with a plant's static-control measures?

The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. It is measured as surface charge density, in nanocoulombs per square centimetre.

The Statement of Classification names that one measured quantity and no other electrical property, and the company publishes no conductivity, no resistivity and no earthing data for the media or the frame. The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir.

Does the material tolerate oil mist from machining operations?

The label directs that the filter is not used in ducts carrying oil mist.

The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter label directs use in dry air only, and directs that the filter not be used in ducts carrying liquid water, steam or oil mist, or anywhere the media may become wet. It also directs that a filter whose media is wet not be installed.

Could sticky overspray from a paint process rapidly block the medium?

Blocking of the medium by sticky overspray from a paint process is matched against a named test or found not to be covered by one; the conditions tested, listed on the Validation page, are heavy dust loaded, fast air flow, used filter for 1 year, after 60 washes, after 2 years of storage, and after 60C for 64 days.

The company publishes no loading test with a sticky aerosol such as paint overspray. The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.”

Can a warehouse's large open doors defeat assumptions about recirculated filtered air?

Air that enters through a large open door has not passed through the filter.

The label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter states: “It works alongside ventilation and cleaning, not in place of them.” and “Results in a building depend on the system, the airflow, and how well the filter fits its track.” The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction.

Does the material tolerate cleaning schedules used in a food-processing plant?

The filter is replaced rather than cleaned, so it does not enter a wash-down schedule.

The label directs that the filter is not washed, vacuumed, brushed, blown out or reused. It also directs: “Use in dry air only. Do not use in ducts carrying liquid water, steam or oil mist, or anywhere the media may become wet.” The housing of an appliance built around the filter is its maker's, and so are its cleaning instructions.

Would a filter installed near forklifts address the relevant emissions from the actual fuel type?

What the company states is about particles. The company publishes no result for a gas or a vapour, and no claim is made about the gases in engine exhaust, whatever the fuel. NanoFlashing™ attracts negatively charged particles through electrostatic attraction. The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction.

Can a plant rely on room filtration where contaminants are generated close to a worker's face?

A filter cannot act on air that has not reached it, and a contaminant released at a worker's face reaches that worker first.

Does a filter change require a shutdown permit in the proposed production area?

Whether a filter change needs a permit is set by the operator of that production area.

Can the proposed system maintain performance during a full production shift rather than a short demonstration?

The Validation page lists a used filter for 1 year and heavy dust loading among the conditions tested, and a published result covers the conditions of its own test; the company publishes no test named for a production shift.

The Terms of Use state that a reported result describes only what the identified test found, and: “Each reported result belongs to the C-POLAR material, component, or prototype that was tested. The maker of a finished product confirms the performance of that product, because construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use are part of it.” Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format.
