Air Filtration Solutions
A worldwide leader in the
manufacture of washable electrostatic air filters since 1957.
We offer innovative product design and precision engineering of
equipment protection filters for HVAC, refrigeration and process
cooling equipment. Air filters are available for residential,
commercial/industrial, OEM and aftermarket applications. Our
filter designs give you the least cost over useful life and help
reduce maintenance and energy costs by optimizing system
efficiency.
Air intakes across the country are getting clogged with cottonwood, insects and other debris. Failure to provide cost effective air intake protection to building or equipment fans, motors, heat exchangers and other process cooling systems adds up to a costly loss of productivity in safe and effective system operations. This is especially true of refrigeration and cooling application systems where heat transfer surfaces are dramatically impacted by buildup of dirt on the surface.
According to EPA research, 0.042 inches of dirt on an air
conditioning coil can reduce its efficiency by 21 percent. In
some parts of the country, cottonwood season means that the
condenser coils become completely impacted in a very short period
of time. This requires frequent and labor intensive
hand-brushing, chemical treatment, evacuation with compressed air
and/or CO². Chemical cleaning can present environmental
drainage issues and is restricted in some areas of the
country. Airflow obstructions and dirt buildup will impact
equipment's ability to work efficiently. Dirty equipment
means energy efficiency decrease, increased amp draw and motor
strain. Forced to run for longer cycle times at reduced
capacity, operating costs escalate, breakdowns occur, and equipment
life expectancy decreases.
Proper air filtration will prevent
debris from impacting equipment performance. Permatron air
filtration products offer you cost effective solutions.
