A QUICK NOTE FROM FILTERA |
Finally 3M has applied their filtration expertise to the commercial market. Most everyone is familiar with the great success that 3M has had with their Filtrete line of home air filters. Now they have developed a great set of products for the commercial user. 3M (and Filtera) now offer four different models of Filtrete commercial mini-pleat filters that should satisfy most commercial users. They are rigidly constructed from 100% synthetic media. They have a low pressure drop and come in either mid or high performance models (and each is available with or without their unique gasketing system to limit air by-pass). |

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS |
FiltreteT Commercial Mid Performance HVAC Utility Filters are ideal for your: |
|
|
INCREASE AIR FLOW / LOWER FAN ENERGY CONSUMPTION FOR EQUIVALENT FILTER EFFICIENCY |
The low pressure drop feature of Filtrete Commercial Mid Performance HVAC Utility Filters may help reduce fan energy consumption. . Unique, electrostatically-charged, open construction media. |
|
|
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS |
| . 100% synthetic media - resists moisture and common chemicals . 100% synthetic frame - lightweight, resists moisture . High durability - no special handling required . Continuous pleat spacing glue bead . Electrostatically charged media |
|
|
PERFORMANCE NOTES |
. Typical initial resistance: 0.26 inches of water(64 Pa) @ 492 fpm . UL 900, Class 1 flammability rating (U.S.) . UL 900, Class 2 flammability rating (Canada) . Operating temperature range: 122°F (50°C), -22°F (-30°C) |
|
|
PERFORMANCE DATA |
. Air Velocity for ASHRAE Testing: 492 fpm (1968 cfm for 24" x 24" filter) . Air Velocity for EN779 Testing: 2.5 m/s (3400 m3/hr for 0.6m x 0.6m filter) . Initial Resistance: 0.26 +/- 0.01 inches of water (64 +/- 3 Pa) . Recommended Final Resistance: 1.40 inches of water (350 Pa) . Average Dust Spot Efficiency per ASHRAE 52.1-1992: 60-65% . Initial Efficiency Rating per ASHRAE 52.2-1999: MERV-11 . Minimum Efficiency Rating During Conditioning to Simulate Actual Use in Commercial Applications: Corresponds to MERV-8** . Filter Class per EN779-2002: F5 . Average Efficiency per EN-779-2002: 52 +/- 3% . Average Dust Holding Capacity at 1.4 in. water (350 Pa): 90 +/- 15 g** . Average Arrestance at 1.4 inches of water: 95 +/- 2 % |
|
|
EFFICIENCY DURING USE |
Particle capture efficiency of electrostatically charged filters has been shown to decrease during actual use. The timeframe and the extent to which this decrease occurs depend on particle size and loading conditions. This effect has been observed in as little as one week to six weeks of actual use. Actual particle efficiencies during use may be lower than those shown, also depending on particle size and loading conditions. |
|
|
SERVICE LIFE |
Filter should be replaced before reaching a final resistance of 1.40 inches (3.56 cm) of water to maintain design performance of the filter. Certain system designs may require filter replacement at lower resistances. The low pressure drop feature of Filtrete Commercial Performance HVAC Utility Filters may help reduce fan energy consumption. |
|
|
INDEPENDENT LABORATORY TESTING: |
Filtrete™ Commercial Mid Performance Filters have been tested by an independent laboratory in accordance with ASHRAE or EN779-2002 standards. Performance ratings are based on testing of new filters with a +/- 95% confidence interval of the average. |
|
|
DURABLE SYNTHETIC MEDIA AND CONSTRUCTION |
Media construction is resistant to moisture and common chemicals. • Resilient construction. • Resistant to fiber shedding. • Unique, electrostatically-charged, open construction media. |
|
|
LONG FILTER LIFE |
The unique media and construction of Filtrete Commercial Mid Performance HVAC Utility Filters may result in long filter life. • Media loads through the depth of the filter, contributing to long filter life. • Minipleat construction provides high surface area, contributing to long filter life. |
|
|
SMALL PACKAGE SIZE |
. Easy to handle . . Low disposal volume.* |
|
|
DEMONSTRATED FILTRATION EFFICIENCY |
Filtrete Commercial Mid Performance HVAC Utility Filters have been tested by independent laboratories in accordance with ASHRAE 52.1-1992 and 52.2-1999 standards. Electret-based filter media is known to decrease in efficiency under many environmental conditions. To evaluate filter efficiency during actual use, additional testing to simulate in-use performance has been carried out. Refer to technical data sheet for detailed product attributes and performance. |
|
|
POSSIBLE FAN ENERGY COST REDUCTIONS |
Use of Filtrete™ Commercial Mid Performance HVAC Utility Filters may help reduce fan energy costs due to their low airflow resistance relative to filters having comparable efficiency ratings and construction. When the air handling unit is cleaned, the savings may be even greater and may help to increase your return on initial investment. 3M uses industry accepted fan energy estimation models that can demonstrate the possible savings resulting from the use of Filtrete filters. |
