Page 2: General Information
General Information Definition “LEV (Local Exhaust Ventilation) is an engineering control system to reduce exposures to airborne contaminants such as dust, mist, fume, vapour, or gas in a workplace” (HSE 2011). Statutory Examination and Testing Every LEV system requires statutory thorough examination and testing by a competent person under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations: 2002 (amended 2004). -
Page 3: Operation
General Information Filtermist as an LEV System Filtermist units are designed for the control of aerosol mists, namely those generated by machining operations that use either soluble or neat oil coolants. Other applications include component washing machines and EDM machines. Due to the aggressive nature of the fluid, it is recommended that only stainless-steel versions are used on component washing machine applications. -
Page 4: Mounting The Unit
Mounting the Unit Installation A Filtermist unit is normally sited either on (e.g. Fig.1) or close to the application, mounted on a stand (e.g. Fig.2) and therefore installation is straightforward requiring minimal ductwork. Filtermist units are light, require minimal floor space and can be installed in a wide variety of ways. A comprehensive library of existing installations is held by the company and can be used to demonstrate typical installations on most machine tools and applications. -
Page 5: Installation Information
Installation Information Safety Information Isolation from any power supply shall either be visible (visible break in the power supply circuits) or the isolation device is actuated to the off position and physically locked off. The unit must not be operated without the case fitted. At least seconds must be allowed for the inner drum to stop rotating before the case is removed. - Page 6 Installation Information Ducting runs should be as short as possible (e.g. Fig.3). U-bends should be avoided as these will encourage oil to collect, reduce airflow and become an area for potential leaks. Where U-bends are unavoidable, suitable drain- age points should be provided (e.g. Fig.4). •...
