In application with high dust load and ash build-up in front of the lens in CD 3002 very high purging flows may be necessary. For these applica- tions an air blower producing flow rates in the 1000 ltr/min. range can be used.

The time between changes is totally dependent on the environment in which the air blower operates. The inlet under-pressure (directly after the filter) will reveal the condition of the filter and can be used to monitor this. Siemens Laser Analytics can provide suitable equippment for this.
