High Velocity Air Filter Solutions

2-9-1-sears-towerAirborne particles and debris are constantly drawn into the air intakes of HVAC units, condensers and air cooled chillers across the country.   Cottonwood seeds, leaves, pollen, paper debris, industrial waste, nesting birds, construction debris and insects are continuously drawn into air intakes costing thousands of dollars and man hours on equipment repair downtime and maintenance.  Debris insulates the coils, electronics and other sensitive components, causing heat build-up, higher discharge pressure and amp draws.  Reduced air flow causes equipment to run for longer cycle times, at reduced capacity, decreased life expectancy, increased filter changes and escalating power costs.

Proper air filtration will prevent debris from impacting equipment performance.  Permatron air filtration products offer you cost effective solutions.

Case Studies

  • April Showers Bring Hail Damage
    As 80 mph winds gust through, not just rain and golf ball sized hail are tossed around. Some states average 1,000 hail events per year. These events cause millions of dollars of serious damage to HVAC equipment. Hail flattens fins and impairs operation with reduced air flow, strained motors and compressors, plus raised power consumption. HailStop hail guard protects costly HVAC equipment from hail damage.
  • Spiritual is Cool - Willow Creek Church
    The million square foot Willow Creek Church campus situated on 155 acres of farmland includes a four-level, 7200-seat auditorium. Keeping the facilities adequately cooled during the hot summer months has been quite a challenge when cottonwood season is in full bloom. Marley cooling towers cool the water needed to cool the refrigerant for two 400 ton Carrier chillers that are part of their chilled water loop air conditioning system.
  • Motorola Air Intake in Sears Tower
    Eliminating flying dirt and nasty weather conditions in the windy city of Chicago can prove to be a major challenge for any HVAC specialist; especially when the outside air intake ducts happen to be located on the 108th floor of the Sears Tower.
