The Case for Filtration: Maintaining system performance and extended equipment life

摘要

With the increasing complexity and higher efficiency requirements of modern district energy systems, the use of filtration equipment is becoming more critical than ever. Given the demand for these systems to operate reliably 24 hours a day, seven days a week, they can ill afford any downtime - or worse, complete failure - that could be caused by fouling from the buildup of unwanted contaminants. Filtration can help systems large and small avoid such problems by reducing the levels of particulates in their water supply. As the acceptable levels of fouling continue to be pushed lower, filtration has become a key solution to this issue - and a source of savings. As such, it has also become a top priority in the design of district energy and HVAC systems worldwide.
