Aerostar Rigid Cell Air Filter, 24" x 24" x 12", MERV 14, Synthetic

Description

Product Details
MERV 14 rigid cell air filters provide between 90% and 95% efficiency for filtering particles between 3 and 10 microns in size (such as mold spores, dusting aids, and cement dust). They also provide between 85% and 90% efficiency for filtering particles between 1 and 3 microns in size (such as legionella, lead dust, humidifier dust, coal dust, and nebulizer droplets) and between 50% and 75% efficiency for filtering particles between 0.30 and 1 micron in size (such as bacteria, most smoke, sneeze nuclei, insecticide dust, copier toner, and face powder). They capture contaminants more efficiently than MERV 13 rigid cell air filters.
Rigid cell air filters (also called box air filters) are deeper than pleated panel air filters and have a sturdier frame. They install in HVAC systems to remove contaminants from the air stream so the contaminants don't build up in the equipment and damage it. They also improve indoor air quality. The filters' rigid frame can withstand fluctuations in airflow, making these filters ideal for variable-volume HVAC systems. Rigid cell filters provide medium- to high-efficiency filtration in settings such as office buildings, healthcare facilities, manufacturing plants, and schools. These filters have a MERV (minimum efficiency reporting value) rating of 8 to 14. A filter's MERV rating measures how efficiently it removes contaminants from the air stream based on the size of the particles it can effectively capture. The higher a filter's MERV rating is, the more effectively the filter traps small particles.
