Filter Loss Gauges

Filter loss gauges are integral elements used to monitor the performance and efficiency of air filters in HVAC systems, cleanroom environments, and industrial ventilation. They offer a visual indication of pressure drop across an air filter, allowing professionals to fix when the filter needs replacement or cleaning. 

Moreover, a filter loss gauge is generally composed of a manometer, which measures pressure variations. The gauge is linked to the air stream both upstream and downstream of the filter. As air floats through the filter, it faces resistance, causing a pressure drop. This pressure difference is measured by the manometer and shown on a scale.   

What Types of Filter Loss Gauges are Available?

• Incline Manometers: Typically use a fluid, often a coloured liquid, to measure the pressure difference. The fluid rises in a tilted tube, providing a visual result of the pressure drop.   
• Digital Manometers: Use electronic sensors to measure the pressure difference and display the reading on a digital screen. 
• Differential Pressure Transmitters: These efficiently convert the pressure difference into an electrical signal that can be transferred to a remote display or control system.   

What are the Possible Advantages of Filter Loss Gauges

• Improved Air Quality: By observing filter performance, users can ensure that the air quality is maintained at optimal levels.
• Energy Efficiency: Clogged filters can boost energy usage. By replacing filters when necessary, you can reduce energy costs.   
• Equipment Protection: Dirty filters can damage HVAC systems and other equipment. Regular filter maintenance can prolong the service life of your equipment.   
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: By detecting filter issues in the early stages, you can prevent costly repairs and downtime.
