Choosing the right prefilter for optimal performance

Prefilters

Choosing the right prefiltration strategy can optimize the performance of your ventilation system
and reduce your environmental impact. The right prefiltration strategy can also help you reclaim
labor hours and warehouse capacity by optimizing your changeout intervals.

Why use prefiltration?

Prefilters play a crucial role within a ventilation system. Their primary function is twofold:

Firstly, they safeguard finer filters from larger particles that can lead to a decrease in their operational lifespan.
Secondly, they ensure the cleanliness of the components within an air handling unit, directly contributing to the provision of ideal working conditions for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, making it more efficient.

The crucial aspect while selecting a prefilter is its lifetime in regards to the filter’s recommended exchange pressure drop – following the principal “Change Less, Gain More”.
