842 CHAPTER 32 1958 Guide addition to a remote location for the bearings, external cooling is fre quently required when the temperature exceeds 200 to 250 F. This is often obtained by use of air cooled or water cooled jackets. With anti friction bearings a heat radiating disk or a small circulating impeller between the fan and the nearest bearing is sometimes sufficient. Oil lu brication rather than grease lubrication is commonly recommended. REFERENCES 1 A.S.M.E.

Degree of removal required, quantity and char acteristics of the contaminant to be removed, and conditions of the air or. gas stream will have a bearing on the device selected for a given applica tion. Definitions and a discussion of contaminant characteristics are given in Chapter 8, together with some consideration of their origin. Air cleaning devices are divided in this chapter into two basic groups: Atmospheric Air Cleaners, described in Part I; and Industrial Air and Gas Cleaners, described in Part II. Atmospheric Air Cleaners are ordinarily used to remove particulates, such as are found in outside air, and are employed in ventilation, air conditioning, and heating systems where dust content seldom exceeds 4 grains per 1000 cu ft of air. Industrial Air and Gas Cleaners are ordinarily used for the heavier concentrations encountered in local exhaust ventilation where the particu late content (loading) ranges from 100 to 20,000 grains per 1000 cu ft of a- Because of these heavier loadings, atmospheric air cleaners can seldom be used for the control of process aerosols in industrial applications. PART I--ATMOSPHERIC AIR CLEANERS , Conventional air filters and electronic air cleaners are installed in air andlmg systems to remove dusts. These dusts constitute a mixture of particle sizes within the classification of temporary and permanent im purities listed in Fig. 1, Chapter 8, including bacteria, pollens, house usts, and similar allergens which motivate attacks on persons of allergic sensitivity.1'7 &. Since the purpose of the filter or cleaner is to free the air of as much sh con*'aminatin as practicable, the degree of air cleanliness required ofou|d influence the choice of apparatus. Atmospheric dusts are mixtures bee^artlf:'eS *n slzes- The removal of these particles and fractions par?m,es Progressively difficult as the particle size decreases.
