Showing the common misconception of adding the wrong prefilter to the A/C external air loop to protect the air conditioner.
Example:
Adding the wrong filter to the external air circuit of an air conditioner can reduce the air flow across the condenser coil by as much as 35%.
- This reduces the cooling capacity of the air conditioner by as much as 35% due to reduce air flow over the condenser coil.
- They could cause high pressure in the refrigeration circuit resulting in unscheduled downtime
- The compressor and condenser fan works harder, which reduces the life of the air conditioner
- The air conditioner under preforms resulting in the electronics/drives seeing higher temperatures and reduced life.
Solution
The Pfannenberg PQF filter is designed to work as a prefilter for industrial air conditioners and filter fans. The filter has an IP54 rating and reduces airflow through the coil by less than 15%.
- Provides a simple solution to one of the most common equipment failures - overheating caused by a clogged airflow path.
- Filters out harmful contaminants including oil mist, preventing clogging of the air-flow path and protecting your critical components from failure.
- Filters out oil residue from entering the equipment, which can lead to a sticky surface that attracts dust and particulates.
- No downtime or lockout-tagout procedure to install or replace filter.
This quick and easy solution protects the life of your equipment, is easy to install and maintain. It is available in multiple widths to eliminate the time and expense to cut individual filters.
