New Camsorb(TM) Sorbent Canister Systems Provide High Efficiency Gas, Vapor Removal



Riverdale, N.J., September 2004 - Camfil Farr has introduced a new line of "Camsorb (TM)" sorbent canister systems for removal of high gas and vapor loads in HVAC systems. The new sorbent system, which is the first in the North American market to use cylindrical canisters, contains more sorbent in a given space than standard flat-tray designs, thereby providing higher removal efficiency and capacity. The sorbent canisters are designed for installation in Camfil Farr's proven leak-free housings and frames and will remove odors and vapors in a wide range of applications, including:

--Treatment of make-up air for buildings containing objectionable levels of ozone, automobile fumes, diesel engine exhaust, jet engine fumes, or light levels of industrial emissions and odors;

--Removal from recirculated air of odors and vapors generated by building occupants, indoor emission sources (copiers, printers, cleaning materials), and light manufacturing processes (printing, pharmaceutical processing, degreasing);

--Protection of sensitive materials such as laboratory and museum contents.

The rechargeable canisters contain up to 107 lb. of loose-fill sorbent media per 2000 cfm. Coconut shell activated carbon and a variety of specialized sorbents are available. Additional performance features include low pressure drop and long service life between sorbent charges, resulting in lower operating and maintenance costs than standard HVAC sorbent systems.

Camsorb canisters may be installed in Camfil Farr built-up bank holding frames or side-access Glide/Pack® housings. Both styles offer the lowest leakage rates in the industry - ensuring that contaminated air will not bypass the system. The sorbent canisters install easily in the built-up bank frames with a twist, using a special bayonet bolt mount. Sorbent banks may be combined with additional banks of particulate filters in any required number for new construction, big retrofit jobs, custom air handlers and other systems handling large volumes of air. The side-access housings use similar holding frames on an easy-slide track that accommodates up to 16 canisters per housing. A second track holds an optional 2-inch deep prefilter or downstream carbon dusting filter.
