The acronym for “Maximum absorbed current” is often “Imax” or “I_max”, where “I” stands for current intensity, a term used in electrical engineering to denote electric current. Therefore, “Imax” refers to the maximum current that a device or system can absorb during its operation.
For example, if an electric motor has an Imax of 10 A (amps), this means it can draw up to 10 amps of electric current during its operation. This value is important for designing and sizing electrical circuits, choosing protective devices like fuses or circuit breakers, and managing energy consumption.
As with electrical absorption Wmax, it’s important to note that Imax is a peak value, indicating the maximum possible current, but not necessarily the typical or average current during normal operation. The actual current can vary based on a number of factors, including operating conditions, load on the motor, and others.
“Filtration capacity” refers to the ability of a filter to remove particles of a certain size from the fluid it is filtering. This value is often expressed in micrometers (µm), which is a unit of length in the metric system equivalent to one millionth of a meter.
For example, a filter with a filtration capacity of 5 µm is designed to remove particles of size 5 µm or larger. This doesn’t mean that the filter will remove all particles of this size or larger, but it indicates the point at which the filter is designed to have a specific filtration efficiency.
The filtration capacity of a filter can be an important parameter depending on the application. For example, in applications such as water treatment, air filtration, or in hydraulic systems, it may be necessary to remove particles of a certain size to protect equipment, improve water or air quality, or for other reasons.
