October 28, 2002—Airguard, a Kentucky-based manufacturer of air filtration equipment, has added three products to its line:
“Fresh Air” filters—a combination particulate/activated carbon filter for light to moderate odor and gas control problems. The filters have a 30-35 percent, MERV 8 prefilter layer followed by a layer of activated carbon media containing 200 grams per square meter. They achieve a minimum of 70-85 percent efficiency on 3-10 micron particles as determined by the ASHRAE 52.2 Test Method. The activated carbon is effective at removing common odors such as diesel exhaust, asphalt fumes, burned food, cooking odors, new carpet, paint, wallpaper solvents, tobacco smoke, and others. The filters are available in 1″, 2″, and 4″ thicknesses.
“MicroPleat EC”—a new programmable fan/filter unit utilizing an electronically commutated DC motor that runs off AC power. MicroPleat EC units offer substantial energy savings due to the electronics package, which consumes only 110 watts of power at 90-feet-per-minute airflow. Standard AC powered units consume up to 400 watts at the same rate of flow. The entire installation can be monitored and controlled from a central computer control station.
“Clean-Pak”—a new extended surface pocket filter made with a dual layer synthetic media. The pockets are formed by a sonic sealing process using ultra high-frequency sound. Sonic welding securely bonds the layers of media creating high burst strength to maintain pocket integrity at high resistance or under turbulent conditions. Ribbons of polypropylene fabric are welded inside the pockets to create aerodynamic channels allowing air to flow smoothly through the filter. Pocket inflation is precisely controlled to minimize resistance and fully utilize all the media.
