| PRINCIPLES Carbon media will help remove high amounts of gaseous contaminants during the first pass of air through the media. During periods of high contaminant levels, carbon media will help reduce peak loads to safer levels. The contaminant will then slowly "bleed off" over time which again frees up the activated carbon for additional absorption during subsequent peak periods. Some of the contaminant initially removed does not "bleed off," and the contaminants remaining in the media reduce the filter's life. The life expectancy of the filter is proportional to the levels of gaseous contaminants present, and the filter should be changed when the gaseous contaminant or odor is again present at undesirable levels. FEATURES 1) A high rate of absorption: the rate of absorption depends on the relationship between the pore structure, or surface area, and the shape of the contaminating molecules. The carbon used in these filters is ground to a fine particle size to increase the surface area available for absorption. 2) Pleated configuration: the carbon impregnated media is pleated, increasing the surface area of carbon exposed to the air flow. 3) Duel filtration: impregnating activated carbon on a dust filtration media is designed to achieve a dual filtration effect. The substrate filters the particulate matter, while the activated carbon filters the gas or vapor contaminant. 4) Easy to handle and process: the activated carbon is thermally bonded to the substrate, resulting in very little "brush off." The impregnation process coupled with the disposable pleated filter design virtually eliminates the mess associated with handling granular carbon. 5) Product and size selection: carbon pleated filters are made in all standard sizes of one, two, four, and six inch depths. 6) Rated UL Class II. APPLICATIONS Carbon pleated filters are used for odor control in numerous settings including: hospitals, nursing homes, animal shelters, chemical plants, laboratories, night clubs, commercial offices, restaurants, households, paper mills, paint departments, airports, and waste treatment facilities. Carbon pleated filters are interchangeable without modification in most central air handling systems, built up filter banks, or side access filter housings. MEDIA The media used in our carbon pleated filter is an activated carbon impregnated, non-woven polyester. Carbon pleated filters are impregnated with 150% carbon ad-on. They contain approximately 10.44 grams of carbon per square foot of media area. For example: a 24 x 24 x 2 carbon pleated filter contains approximately 12 square feet of effective media area and 125 grams of carbon. FRAME CONSTRUCTION Carbon pleated filters are enclosed in heavy duty, high wet strength beverage board frames. Filter frames utilize diagonal support bars as integral parts of the frame. Each support bar and all inside surfaces are bonded to the media pack insuring proper pleat spacing, stability and retention as well a eliminating the possibility of air by-pass through the filter. When assembled, the two mating sections of the frame overlap one another to provide a double thick wall. UL CLASSIFICATION These 150% carbon add-on pleated filters are rated by Underwriters Laboratories as UL CLASS 2.
