Protect Your Machines from the Effects of Overheating Every office, and almost every home today, has access to modern equipment such as computers, DVD players, game consoles and a choice of AV equipment and machines – often necessary for work, but also for relaxation.
Regular maintenance of these machines and equipment is necessary to ensure that they stay in good working order and that they keep on performing at maximum levels. Being lax about looking after these may – and often does – result in damage to the equipment which, in turn, leads to having to spend money which could have been prevented had owners and managers made sure that the machines are looked after properly. Machines are operated by running parts, i.e. parts that are driven by power from, say, a cord plugged into a wall socket where it is fed electricity. These running parts include the all-important fan and related accessories that help to keep the machine cool to help prevent damage such as the machine burning
out, for example. Regular inspection of the equipment is necessary to establish which parts or accessories have reached the end of the line and are up for replacement. It goes without saying that these parts are installed right from the beginning when equipment is assembled; so they are used and bought by both the installer or manufacturer and the individual user such as the person whose home computer needs attention, for example. One of those parts that should always be checked for proper functioning is the fan filter, which forms part of the bigger fan system that keeps your machines cool in order for them not to overheat and suffer damage. The filter is that component that has to ensure that all dirt particles and dust build-up are contained on the surface of the filter itself to prevent them from clogging up the system and therefore the fan to malfunction. Also, a good filter is designed to ensure good air flow even while blocking dirt from entering the machine. These filters are available in different materials right from polyurethane foam and polyesters, for example. Finishes often range from gray to black and shades in-between. The buyer’s choices will dictate what they prefer and how they feel about a specific color with their machine. They are also offered in different dimensions and sizes to accommodate different needs and requirements in terms of which they are used in machines. Some are available as small filters of, for example, 40mm, or 60mm, or 80mm or 92mm going up to, say, 160mm. One of the popular categories has always been the 120mm fan filter for use with a great number of machines. It is important to establish, of course, the size of the filter before you purchase to replace an old one. Most of these fans for home and office use, where they are used to replace older fans in fairly straightforward machines such as computers, are easy to remove and the new one affixed. The shop that one buys these from will be able to explain the quick process, or a pamphlet or set of instructions that accompany the fan will show the user how to go about it. In essence all one has to do is to release the retainer that keeps the filter and its guard in place, then either clean the filter as per manufacturer’s instruction – or replace it. Replacing older filters is often the preference: they are never that expensive and normally last for quite some time if you use a good filter. The filter is an
important part of the fan system, just as the fan guard is, or the power cord – or the fan’s blades. They all function together to ensure a smooth process; the filter is responsible for keeping the system cool and to make sure damage from overheating is prevented.
