Who’s Paying for Your Vacation This Year?

 53 Years of Air Filter Design & Manufacturing  Quality Products  Application Based Solutions  Customer Service Focused

Restricted Air Flow Is A Major Problem for Equipment  Longer Cycle Times at Reduced Capacity  Higher Energy Consumption  Higher Temperatures  Costly Repairs & Downtime  Shortened Equipment Life

What Does It Look Like?

Clogged Air Intake to Heat Transfer Coil Fins

Embedded Fins

Blocked Air Flow

What Causes It?

Air Intake Filtration Challenges Cottonwood Seeds LeavesBugs Industrial Processing & Construction Debris

What Does It Cost?

A dirty system runs 80% of the time fighting dirt, when it should operate at 30% during mild weather A/C Equipment operating with dirty coils can use as much as 37% more energy than equipment with clean coils Contracting Business Magazine Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration News & RSES Journal

According to EPA research 0.042” of dirt on an A/C coil can reduce efficiency by 21% Contracting Business Dirty Condensers restrict heat transfer, causing the compressor to work harder – rising head pressure results in a loss of cooling capacity of up to 30% Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration News

For each 1° Celsius rise in discharge temp there is a 1.75% increase in power consumption and a 1.1% decrease in cooling capacity More greenhouse gas emissions are generated for every KWh energy used HVAC Insider

Cost to run Clean A/C Unit $ Cost to run Dirty 25% $1, Clogged A/C Unit Clogged A/C Unit Cost to run Dirty 40% $1, Clogged A/C Unit Clogged A/C Unit Based on average 5 ton unit running 16 hours per day in a 90 day air conditioning season. Cost per kwh $0.12, kwh/ton=1.

Coil-cleaning procedures cost $500-$6,000 per cleaning. A large facility with 100 air-handling units can average 200 coil-cleaning procedures annually. RSES Journal

The Result: A 10-Ton A/C System now only provides 7 tons of cooling!  Costing more to operate  Providing less cooling Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration News

Cleaning Dirty Clogged Fins = $$$  System Downtime  Labor Intensive Hand Brushing  Messy Chemical Cleaning  Environmental Drainage Issues

Measure Properly PreVent® Model R – Rigid Steel Frame  Manufactured to the EXACT size ordered  Custom filters not returnable  Model R filters >1,000 sq in are not recommended & not warrantied – damage easy

Measure Properly  Frame should extend 1/2” over the outside edge of your intake opening each side Example: Air Intake Opening 15” X 30” Framed Measurement will be 16” X 31” AIR INTAKE OPEN FACE 15” 30” FRAME WIDTH.5” ALL SIDES

Measure Properly  If the air intake you are attaching to does not have a ½” flat surface outside the actual intake opening, expand your measurement until attachment surface is flat

Measure Properly  Magnetic attachment stripping is measured by adding together the linear inches of outside frame Example: 15” X 30” filter has 90 linear inches around all 4 sides =90 15” 30” 15”

Measure Properly Model U – Flexible Vinyl Edge  Fits any air intake opening  Manufactured to the EXACT size ordered  Custom filters not returnable

Measure Properly  Model U filters are typically fitted with a finished edge of 1.25”  Wider edging is available on request

Measure Properly  When measuring for fit over air intake add 1.25” additional to the opening area on all sides to allow for mounting outside the intake edges

Measure Properly Example: Air Intake Opening 15” X 30” Filter Measurement will be 17.50” X 32.50” AIR INTAKE OPEN FACE 15” 30” VINYL FRAME WIDTH 1.25” In some cases filters will need to extend more than the vinyl edge past the opening if the attachment surface is further away

Measure Properly Model U – Flexible Vinyl Edge  Estimating the number of grommets Standard Spacing is 10-12” Evenly Spaced  Custom Placement Pattern Charge Added Pattern Charge Added Drawing Required Drawing Required

How Many Grommets? Draw a rectangle. Draw a rectangle. Each corner requires a grommet Each corner requires a grommet 30” length/12” space = round up to the next whole number 3 15” length/12” space = 1.25 or 2 grommets 15” length/12” space = 1.25 or 2 grommets Total Grommets = 6 15” x 30”

Specialty Patterns Model U – Cut-Outs & Unique Designs  Pattern Cutting – slits/holes designed into the filter  Include all measurements in linear inches which will require vinyl edging/sonic welding, etc.  Include any grommets needed to secure filter around pattern ●● ● ● ● ●● ●● ● ●● ● ●● ● ● ● ●● ●● ●●
