Absorption capacity of odors/gases/vapours
The cab pressurization & filtration systems are standard equipped with a type A activated carbon filter.
Indexation of 1 to 4 indicative gives the absorption capacity of activated carbon type A for common odors/gases/
vapours, either air cleanings based on low concentrations.
INDEX
DESCRIPTION ABSORPTION CAPACITY
1
Very low absorption capacity.
In the application ‘odor removal’ type A is not suitable.
2
Absorption capacity is low, however, with an application ‘odor removal’ are combinations of filters suitable.
3
Reasonable absorption capacity. Approx. 50-100 gr.(odor/gas/vapour) per kg. activated carbon.
4
Good absorption capacity. Approx. 100-200 gr.(odor/gas/vapour) per kg. activated carbon.

Hg Order Brofil type B, E, K, Hg or combination filters to optimise the range of filtration.
Always consult the safeties expert before ordering.
ATTENTION!
Always keep carbon filters in their original sealed packaging when being stored. Carbon will start to
deteriorate immediately if it is exposed to outside air or gasses, the filtration rate is limited by the
absorption capacity. Once a carbon filter is used and saturated it should be treated as ‘Chemical Waste’
and disposed of responsibly (check your local regulations). Brofil advised that protective clothing and
breathing protection should always be used when changing filters.
