AmerKool® M81
Demister Coalescing Pad
● Low presure drop
● Economical in use
● Long service life
The M81 Demister-Coalescing Pad is
a heavy duty, highly efficient Mist
Eliminator Pad that can be used in
several different configurations to meet
the specific needs of any application.
Because the M81 Pad operates at a low
pressure drop and is easily replaceable,
it is economical to use in a variety of
ventilation and air-conditioning systems.
The unique construction of the M81
D/C Pad provides excellent free moisture
removal at velocities up to 4 m/s.
Application
M81 D/C Pads should be used in
ventilation and air-conditioning systems
that require the elimination of mist/free
moisture from the environment or
caused by processes in the immediate
area of the intake.
They are typically used in coastal areas,
behind air washers, and at plant sites
that have long periods of heavy rain
and/or frequent heavy fog/mist.
B E T T
The M81 D/C Pads can be used in
several configurations with increasing
degrees of effectiveness.
A) One M81 D/C Pad when used alone
is effective at velocities up to 2.25 m/s
under light moisture conditions.
B) Two M81 D/C Pads in series held in
one two inch retaining frame are
effective at velocities of 3.2 m/s in heavy
moisture conditions.
C) Two M81 D/C Pads held in one two
inch frame directly behind the AAF 2
pass weather louvre offer the optimum
performance available at velocities up to
4.3 m/s.
D) AmerKool M81 media pads are also
used in types AmerKool humidifier and
evaporative coolers in a 3-pad
arrangement.
E R A I R I S O
Drain shelves and troughs or trapped
chains should always be provided for
when heavy moisture is anticipated.
AAF demister sections are available with
integral drainage systems designed to
meet each application's specific needs.
Construction
The M81 Demister-Coalescing Pad
Media is made from a 75 mm (3 inch)
thick blanket of continuous filament
glass fibres. A specially formulated water
resistant binder is applied during the
glass spinning process that allows the
media to maintain its thickness and
resiliency when saturated. The pads are
also made with an exclusive two-stage
density, consisting of an open weave fibre
pattern on the air entering side and a
tighter weave on the air leaving side.
This unique constructions permits use of
the full depth of the pad, thus increasing
the amount of water each pad can hold.
