How to clean or replace the primary air filter?The steps to clean or replace the
primary air filter are as follows:
1. Shut down the system: Before performing any maintenance work, be sure to shut down the relevant air handling system and disconnect the power supply.
2. Access the filter: Open the housing or chamber where the filter is located so the filter can be easily accessed.
3. Check the filter: Check the filter for any signs of damage, deformation, or excessive clogging. If these problems are found, the filter should be replaced.
4. Clean the reusable filter: Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the surface of the filter. If necessary, the filter can be cleaned using a mild detergent and water. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue. Allow the filter to air dry or blow dry with compressed air (be careful not to damage the surface structure of the filter).
5. Replace disposable filter: If the filter is not reusable or its performance decreases after cleaning, it should be replaced with a new filter.
6. Install new or cleaned filter:
a. Make sure the filter is positioned correctly, the label usually indicates the direction of airflow (e.g., side to back).
b. Hold the filter firmly in place and ensure a good seal to prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the filter.
7. Restart the system: After cleaning or replacing the filter, restart the air handling system and check for leaks or other problems.
8. Record maintenance: Record the dates when filters are cleaned or replaced to help plan future maintenance.
After cleaning or replacing the primary air filter, restart the air handling system. What should you do if leaks or other problems occur?If you find leaks or other problems when restarting the air handling system after cleaning or replacing the
primary air filter, please follow the steps below to troubleshoot and resolve:
1. Shut down the system: First, shut down the air handling system and disconnect power to ensure safe operation.
2. Check filter installation: Check whether the newly installed or cleaned filter is placed correctly and ensure the air flow direction is correct.
3. Check the seal: Carefully check the seal between the filter and the filter tank. If you find a poor seal, you may need to replace the gasket or use sealant or tape to improve the seal.
4. Check the filter: Make sure the filter is not damaged, deformed or improperly installed. If there is a problem with the filter, it may need to be recleaned or replaced.
5. Check the filter groove: Check the filter groove for damage or deformation, which may affect the sealing performance of the filter. If problems are found, the filter tank may need to be repaired or replaced.
6. Check connecting parts: Check other connecting parts in the air handling system, such as pipes, flanges and joints, to make sure they are not damaged or leaking.
7. Check the rest of the system: The leak may not be caused by the filter, but a problem elsewhere in the system. Check components such as fans, motors, and air ducts to make sure they are working properly.
8. Restart the system: After fixing leaks or other problems, restart the air handling system and check again for leaks or other problems.
9. Document maintenance: Record the dates when filters were cleaned or replaced and steps taken to fix leaks to help plan future maintenance.
10. Seek professional help: If the problem cannot be solved by yourself, or you are not familiar with the operation and maintenance of the system, it is recommended to contact a professional air conditioning or air handling system maintenance service.
