VariCel V®

VariCel® V with Antimicrobial IAQ Engineered Media Treated with Antimicrobial

The MERV 15 VariCel V represents a new category for efficiency in high-capacity, mini-pleat filters. It offers 50% less penetration of 0.3μm to 1.0μm particles than a MERV 14 (90-95% efficient) filter.

  • Four efficiencies: MERV 15, MERV 14, MERV 13, and MERV 11
  • MERV 15 and MERV 14 available with antimicrobial
  • High capacity operation up to 750 FP
  • Ideal for difficult operating conditions: High velocity, Variable air volume, Turbulent airflow, Repeated fan shutdown, High humidity, Intermittent exposure to water such as seacoast installations
  • Ideal for retrofitting existing front and side access systems to meet higher IAQ standards.

Description

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]VariCel® V’s multiple mini-pleat media packs, assembled into a series of V-banks, permit substantially more media to be contained in the filter — up to 40% more than standard rigid cartridge filters. Maximum effective media area provides greater airflow capacity, low resistance, high dust holding capacity, and unusually long service life.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]Engineered for IAQ Using Antimicrobial

VariCel V filters with antimicrobial are designed specifically to improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Air filters are designed to trap and concentrate particulate air contaminants including viable fungal and bacterial spores. The presence of antimicrobial in the filter media is intended to preserve the integrity of the media throughout the useful life of the filter. Antimicrobial preservatives are not meant to increase the efficiency of the filter, nor to kill microorganisms “on the fly” as they pass through a filter. Antimicrobial is EPA registered and environmentally safe.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]VariCel ® V – MERV 15 Filters

The MERV 15 efficiency filter offers 50% less penetration of 0.3 μm to 1.0 μm particles than a MERV 14. Best of all, this increase in efficiency comes with a minimal increase in resistance. That means you can place it in any system currently using 90% filters, if the system can accommodate the V-bank design. For maximum improvement of IAQ, you can combine this filter with the benefits of antimicrobial. VariCel V filters are tested in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 52.2. This test standard measures the minimum composite efficiency the filter will provide during its useful life.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]

Dual Density Media Reduces Operating Costs

VariCel V media is manufactured with two layers of microglass paper fibers: coarser fibers on the air entering side and finer fibers on the air leaving side.

Lowest Average Resistance

Over the Life of the Filter Competitive filters offer increased quantities of surface loading media that may result in a lower initial resistance. However, the lowest initial resistance is not necessarily the best value. VariCel V filters provide the right combination of V-bank design, dual density media, and media pack depth. Our VariCel V design results in the lowest average resistance toairflow and highest dust holding capacity when measured over the life of the filter.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]

Designed for High Performance

Mini-Pleat Media Packs Provide Minimum Resistance

Separators made from continuous beads of low profile, thermoplastic material create media packs with minimum spacing between pleats. Minimum spacing permits a largeamount of media to be built into the filters for optimal airflow with low resistance and high dust holding capacity.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]Light-Weight Construction Simplifies Handling

Plastic and aluminum structural components result in lighter weight, though there is a large amount of media area. The light-weight, rigid cartridge design makes VariCel V easy to install, remove, and transport.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]Rigid Construction Maintains Media Pack Integrity

The continuous bead adhesive separators form the pleat packs into totally rigid blocks that withstand high velocity and turbulent airflow without pack shifting or pleat deformation. Each pleat pack is bonded inside the filter to increase rigidity and prevent bypass leakage.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]Rust Free Components

The plastic and aluminum components produce no rust that could flake off and blow downstream.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]Water Repellent Media

Filter efficiency is unaffected by moisture and does not allow water to penetrate through it. Wet media will cause a temporary rise in resistance which quickly returns to normal as soon as the moisture evaporates. VariCel V filters are the ideal choice for installation in humid areas or where moisture is often present.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]Double Header Model for Side

Access Installations For installations requiring a box style configuration, a double header model is available. Use this optional design for:

  • Side access installations with a 12″ wide track.
  • Reverse flow installations where the filter protrudes out of the holding frame in the upstream direction.

The VariCel V is totally incinerable, and is approved for incineration by GTS Duratek.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]Consult product brochure[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
