Description
Upgraded Protection
Rated at 95% efficiency on 0.3 micrometers, and MERV 16 per ASHRAE Standard 52.2, the BioCel I filter offers well over 99% average efficiency on 0.5μ to 5.0μ particles, the range encompassing the sizes of most bacteria, virus-carrying particles, and other small particles harmful to human health. The BioCel I has the advantage of a much lower pressure drop than a standard-capacity HEPA filter (0.4″ versus 1.0″ w.g. at 250 FPM) or a high-capacity HEPA filter (0.95″ w.g. vs 1.4″ at 500 FPM).
BioCel I filters fill the gap between ASHRAE-grade high-efficiency filters and ultra-high efficiency HEPAs at half the weight and pressure drop. This compact, lightweight filter will withstand operating temperatures up to 350˚F. To maximize filter life, use BioCel I filters with high-quality AAF Flanders prefilters.
Rugged Construction
BioCel I filters consist of a pleated media pack enclosed in a galvanized steel frame assembly. The media is made of ultra-fine fiberglass formed into a series of pleats. Corrugated aluminum separators maintain uniform spacing between each pleat to allow unrestricted airflow through the filter. Bar braces are installed on both sides of the filter for extra reinforcement of the media pack. A flattened, expanded faceguard installed on both sides of the filter is available as an option.
BioCel I filters have a single-piece galvanized steel header on the air-entering side that is interlocked to the cell sides in a patented fashion, preventing leakage and forming a totally rigid construction.
