Filterpanels

Filterpanels are modular filtration assemblies designed to hold filtration media within a rigid frame so they can be inserted into a matching housing or rack. They are used wherever a discrete, replaceable filtration element is needed to remove particulates, odors, or contaminants from air or liquids. The panels are sold in standard sizes and can be adapted to fit different equipment.

Typical filterpanels consist of a frame made from metal or durable plastic, with gaskets to seal against a housing, and a replaceable filtration media. Media options include pleated paper or synthetic media for air filters, activated carbon for odors, or depth filters for liquids. Some panels are disposable, others are reusable with cleanable media or washable frames.

Common uses include HVAC air handling units in commercial buildings and cleanrooms, data centers, and industrial processes. In liquid filtration, panel filters can be used as pre-filters or in combination with cartridges to remove particulates before finer filtration or chemical processes.

Selection considers media efficiency (e.g., MERV rating for air, micron rating for liquids), pressure drop, and flow rate. The panel must fit the housing and withstand process conditions, including moisture, temperature, and chemical compatibility. Replacement intervals depend on contaminant load and performance degradation. Disposal or cleaning must follow local regulations.

Installation should ensure proper sealing to avoid bypass. Inspect seals and frames for damage; replace panels promptly when efficiency declines or media becomes saturated. In some systems, panels may be cleaned and reinstalled or sterilized for reuse.
