Fresh-Air Chemical Filtration: Protect Control Rooms from Corrosive Gas

Fresh-air intakes fitted with standard particle filters still admit molecular gases (H₂S, SO₂, Cl₂, NOx), rapidly corroding copper/silver circuitry in mission-critical DCS, PLC, and server racks.

YONGFAN PSA series integrates G4 particulate pre-filtration, dual-bed gas-phase chemisorption (PK12-PCB / PK12-CPB), F8 post-filtration, and 2,000 Pa structural casings with <1% leakage at 1,000 Pa.

01 / Risk Analysis

Why Control-Room Corrosion Persists Behind Clean Particle Filters

Hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide pass straight through G4/F8 filters as molecular vapors. Copper contacts blacken, connector resistance surges, and microcircuit failures disable plant operations.
YONGFAN impregnated honeycomb chemical filter
Molecular Gas Penetration

Why Particle Traps Cannot Stop Corrosion

Molecular gases require chemisorption and catalytic bonding, not mechanical straining. Without gas-phase media, outdoor air directly poisons indoor control electronics.

Particulate vs Molecular Confusion

Selecting F8/H13 filters expecting corrosive gas removal. Particles are captured, but H₂S and Cl₂ gases pass unhindered into server racks.

Impact: Electronic connector creep & silver corrosion

Sizing from Room Volume vs Fresh Air

Sizing the chemical unit from total room recirculation flow rather than outdoor pressurization make-up oversizes the unit and drains media needlessly.

Impact: Excessive CAPEX & inflated replacement cost

Media Chemistry Mismatch

Using standard activated carbon on acidic SO₂ or NOx without chemical impregnation leads to rapid breakthrough and zero capture of target species.

Impact: Breakthrough within weeks of commissioning

Casing Leakage & Intake Bypass

Poorly sealed AHU panels leak raw outdoor gas around chemical beds under negative pressure, defeating the chemical stage entirely.

Impact: Untreated air bypasses filtration train

02 / Filtration Train & Chemistry

G4 + Two-Stage Chemical Media + F8 Engineering Path

The PSA airflow train protects chemical beds from dust fouling with upstream G4 pre-filters, performs molecular chemisorption in dual beds, and captures any media dusting with downstream F8 filters.
Stage 01 / Pre-Filtration

G4 Pleated Pre-Filter

Arrestance 90–95% (MERV 7). Initial resistance 37 Pa, final limit 174 Pa. Protects chemical media granules from coarse dust and airborne debris accumulation.

Stage 02 & 03 / Chemisorption

Dual Chemical Stages (2 × 324 Pa)

Two sequential gas-phase beds engineered with KOH (PK12-PCB) or KMnO₄ (PK12-CPB) media. Delivers 99.5% single-pass removal for target acidic and oxidizing gases.

Stage 04 / Post-Filtration

F8 Secondary Panel Filter

Arrestance 99% (MERV 13). Initial resistance 75 Pa, final limit 300 Pa. Ensures zero media dust migrates downstream into precision control rooms.

07 / Engineering Knowledge

Fresh-Air Chemical Filtration FAQ

Direct engineering answers regarding PSA capacity, target contaminants, casing leakage, and control room protection.

What airflow range does the PSA series cover?

The standard PSA family covers 850 to 34,000 m³/h across 13 primary and 23 total configurations. For higher airflow up to 68,000 m³/h, select PSA-PG.

Which model handles 6,800 m³/h?

The PSA-404 is rated at 6,800 m³/h, 5.5 kW, and 250 Pa available external static pressure.

What gases does the standard PSA target?

H₂S, SO₂, Cl₂, NOx, and VOCs using potassium hydroxide (PK12-PCB) or potassium permanganate (PK12-CPB) chemisorption media.

Does PSA include particulate filtration?

Yes. The train includes a G4 pre-filter (MERV 7) and an F8 secondary filter (MERV 13) alongside the two gas-phase beds.

What is the casing leakage specification?

Double-skin insulated casing documented at <1% leakage at 1,000 Pa with a 2,000 Pa structural pressure rating.

How long does the chemical media last?

Standard service life is documented as 1 year under typical industrial challenge levels; actual life depends on site gas loading.

08 / Boundary Clarification

PSA Application Boundaries & Routing

PSA is specifically engineered for positive-pressure fresh air intake. Review adjacent equipment when duties differ.
Boundary 01 / Exhaust Scrubbing

Not an Exhaust Scrubber

PSA is for incoming fresh air. For contaminated industrial process exhaust discharge, select WGP Series.

Boundary 02 / In-Room Polishing

Not a Standalone Recirculator

For indoor server room recirculation without outdoor air, review CA or DBS Units.

Boundary 03 / High Airflow

Above 34,000 m³/h

When high-volume CCRs need 34,000 to 68,000 m³/h per unit, specify PSA-PG High-Airflow.

Boundary 04 / Blast Walls

Intake Valves Required

PSA does not replace blast isolation valves or fire dampers at the blast-wall boundary; it mounts downstream in the treated air path.
