1.2 All the six trays of each filter are to be packed with the selected and certified impregnated activated charcoal (Ref.: Division-II) to its packing density, so that no voids are left for channelling of air to occur.

1.3 Two nos. of Pt- 100 RTDs ( Ref.: 3.8 above ) are to be incorporated in the middle trays with the help of RTD clamps ( Ref.: 3.9 above ) so that the hot junctions of the RTDs get embedded 25 mm deep in the adsorbent bed and the connecting cables can be taken out easily from the back end.

1.4 The HEPA filter shall not have splices of filter medium and shall not be spot patches to repair holes or cracks.

1.5 The HEPA filter pack shall have a minimum of 140 +/- 5 numbers of pleats, accommodating around 21.5 sq. m ( 230 sq. ft ) of filter medium, as above. The core of the assembled filter pack shall be tight.

1.6 After assembly of Iodine filter, a pretest and qualified HEPA filter is to be integrated with the iodine filter. The pleats and the separators of HEPA filter should be at right angles to the adsorbent trays. The HEPA is to be effectively sealed using adhesive in such a manner that no air passes unfiltered.
