Panel AHU Filter

Product Description

The Panel AHU Filter is a reliable and cost-effective filtration solution designed specifically for air handling units (AHUs) in commercial and industrial HVAC systems. It provides efficient removal of coarse and fine airborne particles such as dust, pollen, and fibers, protecting downstream components and improving indoor air quality.

Constructed with a sturdy frame and pleated synthetic or fiberglass media, this panel filter offers low resistance to airflow and high dust-holding capacity, ensuring optimal performance and extended service life. It is easy to install and replace, making it a popular choice for routine HVAC maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a panel AHU filter used for?

A: It is used to filter airborne particles in HVAC air handling units, protecting system components and improving indoor air quality.

Q2: What filtration efficiencies are available for panel AHU filters?

A: They are commonly available from G3 (coarse) to F7 (fine) filtration grades, suitable for capturing particles ranging from larger dust to fine pollen and fibers.

Q3: How often should panel AHU filters be replaced?

A: Replacement typically occurs every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage and environmental conditions. Pressure drop monitoring can help determine the optimal replacement time.

Q4: Are panel AHU filters washable or reusable?

A: No, these filters are generally disposable and should be replaced when dirty. Washing can damage the filter media and reduce effectiveness.

Q5: Can I use panel filters in all types of AHUs?

A: They are compatible with most standard air handling units designed to accept panel filters, but always check dimensions and specifications.

Q6: What materials are the filter frames made from?

A: Frames can be galvanized steel, cardboard, or plastic, depending on the model and application requirements.

Q7: Can panel AHU filters be customized?

A: Yes, custom sizes and filtration media can be manufactured to meet specific airflow, size, or filtration requirements.
