High performance, environment
friendly media
With the new AmAir 100 and 300
series of prefilters AAF has risen to
the challenge of designing an
environment-friendly product with
the necessary performance charac-
teristics built-in. These filters feature
a new 100% synthetic media pack
which provides excellent perfor-
mance in conditions of high relative
humidity and moisture. When the
media becomes wet, resistance may
rise temporarily only to subside when
the media starts to dry. The synthetic
media displays great tensile strength,
reducing the chance of damage
during handling and operation. The
media is environment and user
friendly: it does not contain any
harsh resins or artificial colouring. It
can therefore be readily disposed of
by landfill or incineration.
Sturdy, reliable construction
The pleated media pack of both
range of filters is housed within a
sturdy double walled, die cut box,
beverage board frame. To ensure the
media pack does not rack or
deteriorate under difficult operating
conditions, it is bonded to the inside
of its frame at all points of contact
and retained in position by retainers
at the air leaving and air entering
sides. On the air leaving side of the
media pack a wiremesh pleat support
grid maintains equidistant spacing
between pleats, ensuring that dust is
collected evenly over the entire
surface of the media. Media usage is
maximized resulting in a more
gradual rise in resistance, which in
turn has a positive effect on energy
consumption and service life.
Applications
Classified G4 in accordance with
EN 779, AmAir 100 and 300 are
ideal for protecting more expensive
secondary air filters from premature
dust loading and replacement. As
primary filters, they will also help
reduce HVAC maintenance costs by
preventing unnecessary dust build-up
on coils, fans and duct work.

VariCel filters with Intersept
antimicrobial are designed specifical-

ly to improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Air filters are designed to
trap and concentrate particulate air contaminants including viable
fungal and bacterial spores. The presence of Intersept
antimico-
bial preservative in the filter media is intended to preserve the in-
tegrity of the media throughout the useful life of the filter.
Antimicrobial preservatives are not meant to increase the efficiency
of the filter, nor to kill microorganisms "on the fly" as they pass
through a filter. Intersept
is EPA registered and environmentally

safe.
Engineered For A Variety Of Applications
Designed To Improve Indoor Air Quality
Type SH Single Header VariCel filters are designed for
systems originally supplied by AAF International. A
unique
13
16" flanged header on the air entering side al-
lows the filter to be easily inserted and latched into front and
side access systems.
Type DH Double Header VariCel filters are designed to
upgrade air cleaning performance and reliability. Two
13
16" thick flanged headers make the filters compatible
with the holding frames and latching devices of various manu-
facturers, including rear access systems.
XL Series VariCel filters, single header (XL-S) and double header
(XL-D), contain up to 67% more media and offer more than twice the
service life of standard single and double header models.
Corrugated Aluminum Separators
with Rolled Edges maintain uniform
pleat spacing for optimum air flow. The
separators are rolled to eliminate
sharp edges, preventing media dam-
age during shipping and personal in-
jur y during installation.
Crimped Rear Flanges (SH) are rolled
over and riveted to add strength, elimi-
nate sharp edges, and prevent bypass
leakage.
Media Pack Restraint
Steel brace on air leaving
side adds support to the
media pack.
Media Pack Sealant A layer
of high efficiency media seals the
media pack into the cell sides.
The media sealant prevents by-
pass leakage and damage to the
media and separators during
shipping and handling. By allow-
ing slight movement of the media
pack when the filter is jarred, the
cushioning sealant helps prevent
tears and punctures to the media.
VariCel media is manufactured
with two layers of glass fibers:
coarser fibers on the air entering
side and finer fibers on the air
leaving side.
Our dual density design allows
dirt particles to be collected
throughout the entire depth of
the filter utilizing the full clean-
ing potential of the media. Maximum dust holding capacity ex-
tends the life of the filter, minimizing operating costs.
The water resistant media can withstand intermittent exposure to
water, making VariCel filters ideal for installations in humid areas
or where the filters are exposed to moisture.
DUAL DENSITY MEDIA
REDUCES OPERATING COSTS
FINER FIBERS
Air leaving side
COARSE FIBERS Air entering side
AIRFLOW
VariCel's rigid construction
with supported pleat media
pack maintains a compact,
unitized structure even under
tough operating conditions.
Variable air velocity and re-
peated fan shutdown do not
compromise performance.
Unitized Construction
Interlocked header and cell
sides, along the entire length
of each side, provide maxi-
mum sealing. Competitive fil-
ters are designed with loose
fitting headers which allow
greater potential for bypass
leakage.
BUILT RUGGED FOR DEPENDABLE PERFORMANCE
Pleats and Separators
Bonded For Strength
During the pleating process,
spots of glue are applied to
bond each separator to the ad-
jacent pleat. This solidifies the
media pack to minimize move-
ment and prevent media dam-
age. Burst strength is
increased to prevent the filter
from blowing out under vari-
able air volume conditions or
unusually high resistance.
Galvanized steel headers and
cell sides resist damage during
shipping and handling, and
prevent corrosion over long
service life. (HT VariCel filters
are constructed of aluminized
steel.)
Easy Installation
Rigid construction and mini-
mum depth make VariCel fil-
ters easy to install in all types
of systems.

VariCel V are lightweight compact filters
designed for use in industrial and
commercial HVAC installations.
Available in the EN779 classification range
F6 - F9, their rigid design and pleated
media pack with thermoplastic separators
ensure they deliver the desired air quality
when used in variable air volume systems
and subjected to repeated fan shutdown,
high relative humidity and intermittent
exposure to water.
Due to their 5000m
3
/h capacity, VariCel V
offer many cost saving benefits. In new
installations fewer filters are needed to
handle the same volume of air compared
to filters of the same size with a lower
capacity. Fewer filters mean less installation
space for the filtration system. They can
also be used in existing systems to increase
the air capacity. VariCel V display low
media resistance and have a high dust
holding capacity and long service life.

BioCel V is designed for industrial
HVAC installations in which HEPA
quality air filtration is required. As a H10
EN1882 classified air filter, BioCel V is
ideal for upgrading an existing
non-HEPA HVAC installation to a
HEPA installation. The filters mini-pleat
media provides high quality filtration on
fine particulate matter removing tiny dust
particles from the airstream efficiently.
Because of its 3000 m
3
/h air capacity,
BioCel V is an ideal choice in new
installations as fewer filters are needed to
to HEPA filters of the same size with a
lower capacity. Fewer filters means less
installation space. The filter displays low
media resistance which results in low
energy costs and long service life.
Lightweight, BioCel V is easy to handle
and install. Temperature limit: 70C.

Non-Laminar Flow Cleanrooms
Basic Design and Operating Considerations
In a non-laminar cleanroom or, to use its

official name, non-unidirectional airflow
cleanroom, air enters the room via filters
in the ceiling, and is exhausted via grilles
in the wall close to the floor.
The principle of this technique is based
on allowing air to flow along irregular,
random paths in a turbulent way.
The success of this technique hinges on
optimizing the mixing of clean incoming
air with dust laden air in the room and
thereby diluting the contamination level
in the cleanroom and lowering the
number of particles per m
3
. The supply
of clean air is therefore the factor which
determines the success of this technique.
In general, the greater the frequency with
which the air is renewed the lower the
contamination build-up in the room and
the greater the rate with which
impurities are diluted. On an hourly
basis, the number of air changes in a
room can vary between 10 and 50,
depending on the type of work and the
achievable Class of the room.
Although more unpredictable than
laminar airflow cleanrooms, in many
applications a non-laminar flow room
can be a cost effective solution, especially
when local laminar flow work stations
are operational in the room.

Laminar Flow Cleanrooms
The principle of laminar airflow or, to
be more precise, unidirectional airflow
cleanrooms is based on air moving along
parallel streamlines at a uniform velocity
of 0.3 to 0.45 m/s with as little
turbulence as possible between the place
where the air enters and exits the room.
The principle is based on expelling any
dust in the airflow by the shortest route.
Basically, there are two types of laminar
airflow cleanroom:
a) Vertical downflow
b) Horizontal crossflow
Vertical Downflow
In a vertical downflow cleanroom, air
enters the room via filters in the ceiling
surface and is exhausted via a perforated
floor. This downward aiflow flushes
contaminated air particles out of the
room via the floor, thus preventing a
build-up of contaminated particles.
Particles generated at one work station
are therefore removed before they have
the chance to migrate. The air velocity
in this type of cleanroom is usually 0.3
to 0.45 m/s.
Horizontal Crossflow
In a horizontal crossflow cleanroom, the
direction of airflow is from left to right
or right to left across the room. Air
enters the room via filters in one wall
and is exhausted and/or recirculated via
a bank of filters and perforated panels in
the opposite wall. The air velocity has to
be established at a sufficiently high level,
usually 0.45 m/s, to counter the effects
of upward thermal movement of
particles. In work stations close to the
high efficiency filter wall, Class 100 or
better is possible.
Since the flow of particles in this type of
cleanroom is in the horizontal direction,
the particle contamination generated at
one work station can be transported to
work stations further downstream of the
filters. This, however, is dependent on
the type of work or the process(es) being
carried out in the cleanroom. Horizontal
crossflow is nevertheless a very practical
and cost effective system, particularly in
cleanrooms which have to be built in
existing spaces with limited ceiling
height.

EN779
New European Standard for Coarse and Fine Filters

In 1993, the European Committee
for Standardization, Technical
Committee 195, Work Group 1
(CEN/TC195-WG1) established a
new standard for general ventilation
filters. With the introduction of this
standard under document name EN
779, member countries of the
European Union are obliged to issue
their own national version of this
standard within the existing
framework of their own national
standards organizations.
For example, BS EN 779 in the U.K.
and DIN EN 779 in Germany.
EN 779 is based on existing
documents such as EUROVENT
4/5, and ASHRAE 52.1:1992, but is
in fact more stringent than either of
these standards. The standard
incorporates a new system of
classification for Coarse and Fine
filters based on an average dust spot
efficiency at a specified final pressure
drop.
Filters with an initial dust spot
efficiency below 20% are classified as
Arrestance Filters (Coarse Filters) in
the range G1 - G4. Final pressure
drop for certification is specified at
250 Pa maximum. Filters with an
initial dust spot efficiency above 20%
are classified as Efficiency Filters
(Fine Filters) in the range F5 - F9.
The final pressure drop for
certification is set at 450 Pa
maximum.
The table summarizes the
classification of the EN 779 for
general ventilation filters.

Note:
For your information, the CEN/TC 195 Work Group 1 will continue to upgrade its standardization for general ventilation filters.
To this end, EUROVENT has produced a particle count method under document name EUROVENT 4/9 which will form the
basis for a future new standard. WG 1 has also expressed its intention to work in closer liaison with ASHRAE on this subject.

G On a flat sheet of media, the MPPS is determined
for the given media velocity. This can be done
with a laser spectrometer or a combination of
electrostatic classifier and CNC (Condensed
Nucleus Counter).
G The filter is assembled with the specified media
grade and amount of media to comply with the
defined media velocity.
G The filter is challenged with an aerosol and at the
MPPS both the local and overall efficiency is
determined with either a CNC or laser
spectrometer.
G Leaks are specified as maximum allowable local
penetration at the MPPS and must not exceed
5 x the overall penetration.
G The filter is classified according to the test results
in the range H10 - H14 for HEPA,
U15 - U17 for ULPA.

Notes:
Filters in the class H10, H11 and H12 do not require verification of local penetration.
Filters in the classification H13 and H14 may, as an alternative, be verified with the visual oil-smoke test (previously known as DIN 24.184),
which is accepted as equal or more searching than the specified local penetration.
U17 is an exception to the rule. In this case local penetration may not exceed 20 x the overall penetration value.
