If no detector tube for your specific chemical is available, other means of detection must be used. Time - For applications that have very consistent inlet concentrations and operating time, “Time” can be used to anticipate saturation or TWA levels based on prior experience. However, this does not replace the need for sampling. Consult Labconco technical specialist for an estimate of carbon filter life based on chemical usage. Detector tubes, or analytical instrumentation should always be used to determine concentrations in the carbon filter. It is recommended that the carbon filters be checked with detector tubes or other means at intervals of 20% of the total estimated filter life. The exception to the 20% recommendation is formaldehyde and any carcinogen or suspected carcinogen. These more hazardous chemicals must be checked at least every 10% of the total estimated time. Analytical Instrumentation - This is the most accurate means of measuring concentrations of any chemical. It is the method of choice when no detector tubes are available or the tubes are not sensitive enough to measure at the TWA concentration for the chemical. This method is also to be used to determine saturation when the chemical concentration is below the measurement range of detector tubes. Odor Control Carbon Filter Replacement Procedure – See Figures 4-1 and 4-2 for Carbon Filter Replacement. 1. The carbon filters are replaced by first removing the two screws, which hold the clips to secure the upper diffuser screen. Remove the screws, clips and upper diffuser screen. 2. Remove the carbon filter in a careful way to avoid the flow switch and HEPA filter. 57 Chapter 6: Maintaining Your Filtered Enclosure 3. Re-install the new carbon filter with the gasket down. Replace the upper diffuser screen, clips and two screws. 4. The weight of the carbon filter with the gasket down will compress the gasket. Calculating Odor Control CarbonFilter Life Labconco developed a modeling program to estimate the filter life for typical carbon filters. Since filter life is dependent on the chemical used, the airflow, filter size, and the dwell time, refer to the Chemical Guide for the Paramount® Filtered Enclosure. The estimated life for Odor Control carbon filters for the filtered enclosures is conservatively calculated at 50% or half of the published values for the Paramount in the Chemical Guide. For example, if you use isopropyl alcohol to disinfect and use approximately 100 ml per week during 2 hours of use per day then follow these steps to calculate the concentration in parts per million (ppm). Steps for Calculating PPM and Filter Life 1. Determine the amount of the proposed chemical lost to evaporation over a given amount of time. For example, if you use isopropyl alcohol and lose approximately 100 ml per week during 2 hours of use per day. 2. Convert the amount lost into ml/min. For this example: 100 ml X 1 week X ...
