Pressure Drop Reduction with Monolith<\/h1><\/div>

Monolith media is inherently more efficient than saddles, providing a lower pressure drop while increasing TER. Below is an illustration of a typical application.<\/p>\n

Bed Designs:<\/h2>\n

Monolith:
\nLA10 43 Cell
\nBed Depth: 4′
\nTER: 96%
\nPressure Drop: 5.25 in. w.c.<\/p>\n

Saddles:
\n1″ Saddles
\nBed Depth: 8′
\nTER: 93.7%
\nPressure Drop: 14.4 in. w.c.<\/p>\n

Results:<\/h2>\n

Pressure Drop<\/strong>:
\nMonolith:\u00a05.25 in. w.c.
\nSaddles:\u00a014.4 in. w.c.
\nReduction in\u00a0\u0394P: over 63%<\/em> pressure drop reduction<\/p>\n

TER<\/strong>:
\nMonolith:\u00a096.0%
\nSaddles:\u00a093.7%
\nTER Difference: 2.5% TER increase<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0or approximately a 45% gas savings<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A bed composed entirely of 1″ saddles cannot typically achieve 96% TER<\/em> while maintaining reasonable bed height or pressure drop, and saddle pressure drop will always be higher<\/em> than monolith due to required bed depths and turbulent air flow. Monolith is a great option for increasing capacity of existing units<\/em> that previously utilized saddles without<\/em> the need to resize units<\/em> or increase fan capacity<\/em>. However, saddles can be very effective<\/em> for gas distribution<\/em>; or as a sacrificial<\/em> media for short life applications such as extreme plugging due to silica or other inorganics. This is where Lexco\u2019s innovative hybrid bed designs<\/em> can really shine<\/p>\n

\nTin<\/sub>: 100\u00b0F
\nTcomb<\/sub>: 1500\u00b0F
\nCycle time: 180 sec
\nDry Air, at sea level<\/p>\n<\/div>
