Very interesting Brooks. Thank you for the good information
and for thinking about us CS users.

Subject: CS Tip of Possible Interest
Recently, we completed an investigation which yielded
information I believe to be of possible
value to the list membership.
While it is well known that CS solutions as weak as 5 ppm are of
value when impinged upon the
surfaces of conventional air conditioning filters, there was small data
available as to how effective. We
found that approximately 3 ounces of 10 ppm CS sprayed over (both sides) of a
20" X 20" X 1" AC intake
filter.....once every 10 days, reduced the general viable bacteria/virus
populations (expressing on the filter
surfaces) to 5%--or less--of those found on the control filters. In some
cases, where 20 ppm was used, and
the interval for filter cleaning shortened to 7 days----the efficacy improved
to better than 98%. It is of
interest to note that some filters were mechanically/pneumatically cleaned by
simply knocking them against a
screened surface and exposing to 60+ psi cleaning via air hose nozzles 4
times....before being replaced with
new ones-----without substantial degradation in overall system performance.
Of note was, free-air samples from areas serviced by a $1000.00
air-scrubber, contained MORE
live pathogens.....than did the CS test areas utilizing the foregoing
arrangement of CS impregnated intake
filters.
One word of caution.....because of the large, initial, wetted
surface of the intake filter it
would be prudent to check the filter for heavier-than-usual accumulations of
dirt/dust particulates at about
5 days. after the initial installation.. This is of special importance in
areas exhibiting high dust
concentrations. It may be of import for members to know that approximately
80% of all A/C system failures
have their primary cause as "restricted air flow"......mainly from occluded
intake filters (this includes, but
is not limited to: frozen evaporator surfaces, compressor failure due to
excessive work-load, continuously
high discharge pressures,etc.)
I hope this information is of value to some.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
