Product catalog summary
Overview: VariCel filters are designed to enhance Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) by trapping particulate air contaminants. They incorporate antimicrobial preservatives to maintain media integrity, though not to increase filtration efficiency or kill microorganisms in transit. These filters are EPA registered and environmentally safe.
Types and Applications:
  • Type SH Single Header: Designed for systems by AAF International, featuring a flanged header for easy installation.
  • Type DH Double Header: Enhances air cleaning performance, compatible with various manufacturers' systems.
  • XL Series: Offers up to 67% more media and twice the service life of standard models, available in MERV 14, 13, and 11 efficiencies.
  • High Temp Series: Suitable for high-temperature operations (350°-900°F), constructed of aluminized steel.
  • Type NH Series: For special applications, operable up to 200°F, constructed without headers.
Construction and Performance: VariCel filters feature corrugated aluminum separators for uniform pleat spacing, crimped rear flanges for strength, and a media pack sealant to prevent leakage. The rigid construction ensures performance under variable conditions, and dual density media design maximizes dust holding capacity.
Efficiency and Standards: VariCel filters meet LEED project certification requirements for MERV 13 and higher. They are UL Class 1 certified, tested according to UL Standard 900 and CAN 4-S111.
Options and Accessories: VariCel filters can be equipped with faceguards, factory-installed gaskets, and vinyl-coated separators for corrosive conditions. Prefilters can extend the filter life significantly.
Operating Data: The filters are rated for specific face velocities and have recommended final resistance levels. Temperature limits vary by model, with specific limits for SH, DH, XL, HT, and NH types.

Designed to Improve Indoor Air Quality VariCel filters with 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 antimicrobial 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. Antimicrobial is EPA registered...

3 Built Rugged for Dependable Performance 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. 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. Media Pack Sealant — A layer of high efficiency media seals the media pack into the cell sides. The media sealant prevents...
