AmAir 300
High Quality Prefilters
Excellent media performance in high humidity

conditions
High tensile strength
media
Environment-friendly
materials
Sturdy, reliable
construction
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 characteristics built-in. These filters feature
a new 100% synthetic media pack
which provides excellent performance 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
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.
friendly: it does not contain any

harsh resins or artificial colouring. It
can therefore be readily disposed of
by landfill or incineration.
High performance, environment

friendly media
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
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.

Designed To Improve Indoor Air Quality
VariCel filters with Intersept antimicrobial are designed specifically 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 antimicobial preservative in the filter media is intended to preserve the integrity 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
Type SH Single Header VariCel filters are designed for

systems originally supplied by AAF International. A
unique 1316" flanged header on the air entering side allows 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 manufacturers, 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.
High Temp Series VariCel filters are designed for systems operating from 350-900F. Constructed of aluminized steel, High Temperature VariCel filters offer
rated efficiency with proven reliability over the life of the filter.
See page 4 for models and temperature limits.
Type NH Series VariCel filters are designed for special
sizes and applications, including incineration and
compaction disposal systems. Manufactured of fireretardant, 34" thick, heavy wall particle board, Type NH VariCel
filters (U.L. Class 1) are operable at temperatures up to 200F.
The filters are constructed without headers and cell sides are
flush with front face dimensions.
BUILT RUGGED FOR DEPENDABLE PERFORMANCE
Crimped Rear Flanges (SH) are rolled

over and riveted to add strength, eliminate sharp edges, and prevent bypass
leakage.
Media Pack Restraint

Steel brace on air leaving
side adds support to the
media pack.
Corrugated Aluminum Separators
with Rolled Edges maintain uniform
pleat spacing for optimum airflow. The
separators are rolled to eliminate
sharp edges, preventing media damage during shipping and personal injury during installation.
VariCel's rigid construction

with supported pleat media
pack maintains a compact,
unitized structure even under
tough operating conditions.
Variable air velocity and repeated fan shutdown do not
compromise performance.
Unitized Construction
Interlocked header and cell
sides, along the entire length
of each side, provide maximum sealing. Competitive filters are designed with loose
fitting headers which allow
greater potential for bypass
leakage.

Pleats and Separators

Bonded For Strength
During the pleating process,
spots of glue are applied to
bond each separator to the adjacent pleat. This solidifies the
media pack to minimize movement and prevent media damage. Burst strength is
increased to prevent the filter
from blowing out under variable 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
Cell Side
Potential Leak Path
Media Pack Sealant A layer

of high efficiency media seals the
media pack into the cell sides.
The media sealant prevents bypass leakage and damage to the
media and separators during
shipping and handling. By allowing slight movement of the media
pack when the filter is jarred, the
cushioning sealant helps prevent
tears and punctures to the media.
Rigid construction and minimum depth make VariCel filters easy to install in all types
of systems.
DUAL DENSITY MEDIA

REDUCES OPERATING COSTS
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.

throughout the entire depth of
the filter utilizing the full cleaning potential of the media. Maximum dust holding capacity extends 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.

capacity
Airflow Resistance
VV6-series
Due to their 5000m3/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.
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.

3000 m3/h
Classified H12, H13 and
H14 according to
EN1822
Space saving design
Saves energy in existing
installations
AstroCel I High Capacity are classified

H12, H13 and H14 in accordance with
EN1822 and are designed for
applications in which a high volume of
air has to be throughput. Because of their
high capacity, fewer filters are needed to
to other HEPA filters of the same size.
AstroCel I HC filters owe their high
capacity to a unique separator design
which allows denser packing of the filter
media. The benefits to the customer are
numerous:
In new installations, fewer filters mean
less costly installation space is
necessary.
In existing installations, low pressure
drop means lower energy costs and
longer service life.

AstroCel III 3400 MDF

High Efficiency Particulate Air Filters
H12 and H13 in

3400 m3/h air volume
saves space
Low energy consumption
Non-shedding
construction
AstroCel III is classified H12 or H13 in

accordance with EN1822. The filter
displays excellent efficiency on fine
particulate matter and is designed for use
in high air volume applications upto
3400 m3/h. Due to its high capacity the
filter has several benefits: in new
installations, fewer filters are required to
to HEPA filters of the same size with a
lower capacity. As a result, less
installation space is required and
installation time is significantly reduced.
In existing installations, the filter's high
media area ensures a low pressure drop
which reduces energy costs. Other
benefits include:
high quality MDF cell sides ensure a

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.
air with dust laden air in the room and

thereby diluting the contamination level
in the cleanroom and lowering the
number of particles per m3. 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
The success of this technique hinges on

optimizing the mixing of clean incoming
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

Basic Design and Operating Considerations
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.
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.
Basically, there are two types of laminar

airflow cleanroom:
a) Vertical downflow
b) Horizontal crossflow
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,
Vertical Downflow
In a vertical downflow cleanroom, air
enters the room via filters in the ceiling
surface and is exhausted via a perforated
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
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.
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.

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.

New European Standard for HEPA & ULPA Filters
Penetration vs Particle Size
Minimum
Efficiency
Face Velocity 5.00 cm/s
(Resistance = 36.36 mm)
(MPPS = 0.134 m)
Procedure
The filter is assembled with the specified media

grade and amount of media to comply with the
defined media velocity.
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.

(MPPS = 0.146 m)
Penetration (%)
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).

(MPPS = 0.159 m)

(MPPS = 0.172 m)
(MPPS = 0.189 m)
Leaks are specified as maximum allowable local

penetration at the MPPS and must not exceed
5 x the overall penetration.

(MPPS = 0.212 m)
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.

from aluminium. Options include
an epoxy coated white RAL 9010
housing, which because it can be
decontaminated with disinfectant, is
suitable for sterile applications.
The unit, with a clean filter at full

rated air flow has a single unit SPL
of 52-56 dB(a) at 1m.
AstroFan FFU
Motors and controls
The unit is available with traditional

high efficient AC motors, operating
with single phase or 3 phase motors.
Controls can be either with 5 step
speed controller or stepless controller.
This execution provides a simple and
reliable economical solution for
many applications.
Utilizing EC system (electrical
commutated) external rotor motors
greatly reduces the power
consumption of the unit, because of
reduced losses. Consequently the
cooling requirement is also reduced.
Controls include the electronic

commutation unit, standard single
unit control, standard RFI supression
and PFC (power factor controller )
and LON bus interface. Two wire
twisted cable installation to the bus
makes installation easy. Mains supply
