Which Purafil monitoring solution is the best for your facilities? The short answer is, it depends. While both OnGuard Devices and Corrosion Coupons utilize copper and silver metal to measure the corrosivity of the surrounding air, there are a number of factors that will determine which one your facilities will benefit most from. It is also important to note that corrosion occurs faster at higher temperatures and higher humidity levels. If these are factors in your enviro

Free-cooling allows airborne contaminants into data centers, which could cause corrosion on mission-critical electrical equipment. This could ultimately lead to downtime and repairs, costing data centers thousands of dollars per minute.

Free cooling is seen as an economical way to cool equipment but it could be leading to costly equipment damage down the road. Free-cooling allows external airborne contaminants into data centers, which could cause corrosion on mission-critical electric

Ever wondered what the air quality was like in your facilities? In this guide, we’ll outline the main points you need to know about corrosive air monitoring.

For anyone new to the concept of corrosion monitoring, there are so many factors it can become confusing quickly. What is the difference between passive and active corrosion diagnosis? Which is a better fit for my facilities? In this guide, we’ll outline the main points you need to know about corrosive air monitori

Corrosive air is an invisible danger lurking in data centers that you may not even be aware of until it`s too late. This problem is compounded by increasing complexity and RoHS (Lead free directive or Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive).

Sewage is not known for its pleasant aroma, but what exactly is that smell, and what causes it? The municipal wastewater treatment process can release odors in the collection and treatment process.

For safety and insurance purposes, most if not all mechanical codes have requirements with regards to fire safety for materials used in a building’s HVAC systems. For instance, the State of Ohio (USA) MechanicalCode states in the section on “Air Filters” that:

Gas-phase air filtration is a highly specialized branch of air filtration with a very short list of reputable and knowledgeable companies manufacturing the dry-scrubbing media, filters, and systems in which they are employed. The list becomes even shorter when considering where to go for the technical resources necessary to specify, design, test, build, install, operate, and ma
