Media VelocityPanel vs Extended Surface NAFA Technical Seminar May 2004
HVAC Filter Styles • Panel Filters • Throwaway • Pad • Polyester, Fiberglass • Ring Panel • Sleeve, Link • Autoroll • Up to MERV 8 performance • Typically ½”, 1”, and 2” Depth
HVAC Filter Styles • Extended Surface Filters • Poly Cube • Pleat • Pocket • Rigid • Aluminum Separator • Cell, HEPA • Minipleat • Panel, V-Bank • MERV 6 and better performance • Typically 1”, 2”, 4”, 6”, and 12” Depth
HVAC Filter Styles • Extended Surface Filters • Carbon Honeycomb Panel • Carbon V-Bank • Carbon Housing • Pleated Carbon Nonwoven
Non HVAC Filter Styles • Extended Surface Filters • Cleanroom Panel • Dust and Liquid Bag • Pleated Bag • Cartridge
Sample Calculation Ring Panel • Duct Velocity 500 feet per minute • Duct Area 2’ x 2’ = 4 sq feet • Air Flow 500 * 4 = 2000 cfm • Media Area 2’ x 2’ = 4 sq feet • Media Velocity 2000 cfm / 4 sq feet = 500 feet per minute = Duct Velocity
Sample Calculation Pleated Filter • Duct Velocity 500 feet per minute • Duct Area 2’ x 2’ = 4 sq feet • Air Flow 500 * 4 = 2000 cfm • Media Area 2’ x 2’ x ?” = ?? sq feet • Media Velocity 2000 cfm / ?? sq feet = ???
Pleated Filter 24” Wide * 0.80 ppi = 19 Pleats
Pleated Filter 24” Wide * 0.80 ppi = 19 pleats 19 Pleats * ( 2 * 1.86”) = 70.7” 24” Tall * 70.7” Wide = 1,697 sq inches / 144 sq in / sf = 11.8 sq feet of media 1 ¼” 0.625” 1 ¾” 1.86”
Sample Calculation Pleated Filter • Duct Velocity 500 feet per minute • Duct Area 2’ x 2’ = 4 sq feet • Air Flow 500 * 4 = 2000 cu ft / min • Media Area 2’ x 2’ x 2” = 11.8 sq feet • Media Velocity 2000 cfm / 11.8 sq feet = 169 feet per minute
Unaccounted Losses • Actual Dimensions • 23 3/8” x 23 3/8” = 3.8 sq ft = 5% loss • Blinding • Welded Wire – xx% • Paper Die Cut – xx% • Turbulent Flow • 11.8 sq feet becomes 11.5 sq feet • 169 feet per minute becomes
