PLANNING THE INSTALLATION 

 

 

- WARNING - 

 

The M66O source capture Media Air Cleaner is 
not explosion-proof.  It must not be installed where 
there is danger of vapor, gas or dust explosion. 

 

 

INTRODUCTION 

Clean air is the subject of numerous laws and 
regulations.  Typical requirements in the United 
States are those put out by the Occupational 
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).  Private 
groups, such as the American Society of Heating, 
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers 
(ASHRAE), have also published numerous 
recommendations. 
 
Normally, clean air is defined in regulations and 
recommendations as air having a limited amount  
of contaminant in it, commonly expressed as parts 
per million or milligrams per cubic meter.  
Approved counteractions are intended to lower or 
eliminate the amount of contaminants in the air.  
One of the more common methods of achieving 
this goal is through the use of media air cleaners. 
 
At no time should a media air cleaner be placed 
where there is a potential for explosion due to the  
presence of explosive dusts, gases or vapors.

correct application of a media air cleaner. 
 

SIZING 

Sizing is the process of determining the amount of 
air cleaning necessary in any given application.  
Since the M66O is a source capture air cleaner, 
the sizing process is relatively simple

—provide 

one source capture hood per contaminant source. 
 
If air contaminants are generated from fixed 
stations where hoods and hoses can be 
acceptably installed, cleaning the air by capturing 
the contaminant at the source is strongly 
recommended.  For source capture air cleaning, a 
hood (not provided) is installed where the 
contaminants are generated and an attached hose 
feeds the contaminants to a source capture 
plenum.  The plenum transfers the contaminants  
from up to two hoses directly into the media air 
cleaner (hoses are ordered as accessories). 

 
The composition, quantity and rate of generation 
of the contaminants determines the air velocity in 
turn not only affects the hood design and location 
but it also sets limits on how much hose can be 
used before the air pressure drop becomes too 
great for effective contaminant capture. 
 
Therefore, when sizing an application for source 
capture air cleaning, it is necessary to keep in 
mind how the specific contaminants, the hood and 
the needed velocity all combine to affect the 
number of stations which can be attached to a  
single unit and the number of units which will be 
needed for a particular application. 
 

SOURCE CAPTURE CLEANING 

When selecting a location for a media air cleaner 
that uses a hood and hose to capture the 
contaminants at the source choose the location 
that will keep the air pressure drop caused by the 
length of the hose within an acceptable range.  Do 
not mount the outlet of the air cleaner so close to a 
wall that it inhibits the airflow.  Also, the outlet of 
an air cleaner should not be located such that it 
interferes with the source capture process of 
another air cleaner hood. 
 
To effectively control atmospheric contamination 
at its source, proper hood design is necessary.  
Minimum airflow and power consumption are also 
important factors in designing an effective local 
exhaust system to control contamination.  
Capturing air contaminants at their source requires 
the creation of sufficient airflow past the 
contaminant source to remove the contaminated 
air and draw it into an exhaust hood.  Fine 
airborne dust particles, mist, vapors, gases and 
fumes follow air currents.  Airflow alone is 
sufficient to capture these contaminants. 
 
Basic knowledge of the contaminated airflow to be 
controlled is necessary before an effective hood or 
enclosure can be designed.  The more complete 
and effective the design, the more economical and 
efficient the installation will be. 
 
A complete enclosure is often the best way to 
start.  Once a source is ideally enclosed, provide 
access and working openings as required.  This 
concept can be used to develop booths, side- or 
downdraft hoods and side shields.
