System Design Recommendations
8. Solubility of Odors and Toxic Gases, etc., in Water and the
Effect on the Lossnay Core
Note: 1. Lossnay should not be used in environments with water soluble gases and mists because the amount that is
transmitted with the water is too high.
2. Lossnay should not be used in environments with acidic gases and mists because these will accumulate in the Core
and cause damage.
3. The table data above apply to only Lossnay partiton plate of total energy recovery units.
