Components of HVS
Heavy Duty Blower,
Orifice flow meter- measures flow,
Time Totaliser-records time,
Programmable Timer- measures time,
Instrument Cabinet- acts as protection,
Filter Holder assembly- holds the filter in
position,
Voltage Stabiliser- guards against
voltage fluctuation,
Detachable Gable roof- allows passage of
air and
