Camfil Farr has produced the MERV 8 30/30 (minimum efficiency reporting value) air filter, that claims to extend the productive service life of high-efficiency filters used in microelectronics and other cleanroom environments.
The product has a claimed low initial resistance, a low maintained resistance to airflow, and the lowest average pressure drop of any MERV 8 filter. The company promises a 25% increase in efficiency.
The filter reportedly has earned five stars on the ECI (Energy Cost Index) the industry's highest performance ranking, and can be used in cleanroom areas and support spaces. The product uses all mechanical filtration, rather than electrostatic, and maintains consistent, high removal efficiency throughout the filter’s life.
The filter is rated by Underwriters Laboratories as a Class 2 or 1 filter, and is available in 2” and 4” configurations.
The product also meets the requirements of the U.S. Green Building Council (LEED) in terms of efficiency, energy savings and reduced disposal impact.
