Rooftop Air Filter | Rooftop Air Filter Equipment
Rooftop units across the country are getting
clogged with cottonwood. Airflow obstructions, debris and dirt
buildup will impact equipment ability to work
efficiently. Failure to provide adequate airflow
to a building or HVACR systems and production/process equipment
adds up to a costly loss of productivity in safe, efficient system
operations. Costly demand service calls from building tenants
complaining of diminished cooling capacity during the hot summer
months can add up as well. As RTUs suck the airborne
cottonwood seedlings into their air intakes, this can cause
significant problems with the equipment's interior filter life,
reduce critical air flow and increase maintenance associated with
frequent coil cleaning.
Proper air filtration will prevent debris from impacting equipment performance. Permatron air filtration products offer you cost effective solutions.
Case Studies
- Cottonwood Blankets Roof Top Units
Situated twenty miles southwest of Denver, the Parker Water and Sanitation District serves more than 22,000 Colorado residents. The District’s mission is to deliver clean, high quality water to its customers, and then manage, operate and maintain the 150 mile long sewage collections system that safely transports it all back from their homes and businesses to wastewater treatment plants. The facility includes two activated sludge wastewater treatment plants that can treat up to 3.5 million gallons per day. As most facility managers can attest, Mother Nature doesn’t always adhere to those same objectives. Parker’s administrative office and largest treatment facility, as well as a variety of outlying buildings, holding ponds, aeration tanks, wells and pumping stations lie within an area that is dominated by large cottonwood trees. - Rooftop Units Under Cottonwood Attack
Rooftop units across the country are getting clogged with cottonwood. This was especially true for Arvada, Colorado. Holbrook Service, specializing in commercial and industrial HVACR for the past forty years, was called in to take care of servicing the 35-50 ton Carrier units located on top of a 103,000 square foot office complex. Their annual invasion of airborne cottonwood seeds was just around the corner.
