Panel filters

Panel filters are used in various devices and systems where air filtration is necessary.

• Ventilation systems: Panel filters are essential for ensuring air quality in HVAC systems by removing dust and other particles. This not only helps to keep the air clean, but also prevents dirt from accumulating in other components of the system.
• Air handling units: These filters are often used as a primary layer to filter coarse particles before the air is further purified. This protects finer filters and other components from premature wear.
• Commercial cooling systems: The use of panel filters keeps cooling machines running more efficiently by preventing dust accumulation in internal components. This results in lower maintenance costs and a longer system life.

• Offices: In office buildings, panel filters contribute to a healthy and comfortable working environment by removing dust, pollen and other contaminants from the air.
• Industrial installations: In factories and production environments, panel filters are used to prevent dust and particles in the air from affecting machinery and employees. This is crucial for maintaining both product quality and safety.
• Healthcare: In hospitals and laboratories, panel filters play an important role in ensuring clean air, which is essential for protecting patients and staff from infection. They also help maintain the required hygiene standards.

• Hospitality industry: Panel filters in commercial kitchens help capture grease, smoke and odours, keeping the ventilation system working efficiently. This also contributes to a cleaner working environment for kitchen staff.
• Shopping centres: The use of panel filters in large commercial buildings ensures a comfortable indoor climate. This contributes to a pleasant experience for visitors and prevents ventilation systems from becoming clogged.

There are different types of panel filters, each designed for specific applications:

• Synthetic panel filter: Made from synthetic fibres, ideal for general air filtration. They are durable and moisture resistant.
• Glass fibre panel filter: Excellent at capturing fine dust particles. They are often used in applications where a higher filtration rate is required.

• Activated carbon panel filter: Suitable for removing odours and gases. These filters are often used in kitchens, laboratories and chemical industries.
• Expanded metal panel filter: A robust choice for heavy industrial environments. They are designed to effectively remove coarse particles and dirt.

Replacing panel filters is a relatively simple process, but it is important to do it correctly to maintain system performance:

1. Switch off the system: Prevent air from being sucked in during replacement.

2. Check the old panel filter: Note the dimensions and type to ensure that the new filter is compatible.

3. Remove the old filter: Carefully pull the filter out of the frame to prevent damage or the spread of dirt.

4. Clean the filter holder: Remove dust and dirt from the holder with a cloth or vacuum cleaner.

5. Insert the new filter: Ensure that the filter is correctly positioned in the frame and that the air direction corresponds to the arrows indicated.

6. Check the seal: Ensure that no air can escape past the filter.

7. Switch the system back on: Check that the system is functioning properly.

Regular maintenance and timely replacement of panel filters ensure optimal operation of the ventilation system and a longer service life for the equipment.
