What's a disadvantage of highest MERV-rated filters?

Engineering
2 answers:
Arte-miy333 [17]3 years ago

Answer:

3) the pressure drop across high MERV filters is significant.

Explanation:

MERV (Minimum-Efficiency Reporting Value) is used to measure the efficiency of filter to remove particles. A filter of high MERV can filter smaller particles but this causes an increase in reduced air flow that is an increase in pressure drop. High MERV filters capture more particles causing them to get congested faster and thereby increasing pressure drop.

Excessive pressure drop can cause overheating and lead to damage of the filter. The pressure drop can be reduced by increasing the surface area of the filter.

Answer:

3) The pressure drop across high MERV filters is significant.

Explanation:

The higher the MERV filter rate is, the most efficient it will be when it comes to trapping small particles. This comes with a cost. Since the space between fibers is smaller, this translates into a higher pressure drop. This is a disadvantge since in air conditioning or ventilation systems, the higher the pressure drop, the biggest the equipment and the most expensive it is.

mart [117]

Answer:

Option D. is correct

Explanation:

Joe uses one of his CAT5 patch cables to connect two hubs to add a new segment to his local network. As he can only connect to it from a workstation within that segment,  he is not able to reach the new network segment from his workstation.

The most problem is that the technician used a straight-through cable.

Option D. is correct.

Why is concrete on its own not a good material to use
Inga [223]

Answer:

It has poor tensile strength despite having high compressive strength

Explanation:

Concrete exhibits high compressive strength when used. However, it has very low compressive strength. This is the reason why concrete is normally combined with steel to make a composite building material called reinforced concrete. The steel reinforces concrete hence increasing the tensile strength in RC buildings. The end composite is durable and fireproof. Generally, the main reason why concrete is not use on its own is due to its poor tensile strength.
