Activated Carbon V-bank Filter
I. Product Introduction
The Activated Carbon V-Bank Filter combines high-efficiency particulate filtration with chemical adsorption in a space-saving V-shaped configuration. Designed for industrial air purification, it effectively removes odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and airborne chemicals while capturing dust and particles.
II. Product Advantages
1. Superior Chemical Adsorption
99% VOC removal efficiency (tested per ASTM D3806)
Custom carbon blends: Potassium permanganate for acid gases, zeolite for ammonia
2. Long Service Life
2-3x longer lifespan vs. flat-panel carbon filters
Removable carbon trays allow reactivation/replacement
3. Energy Efficient
Low pressure drop (≤0.8" w.g.) reduces fan energy costs
Pleated media design increases dust-holding capacity
4. Easy Maintenance
Front-access design for quick media replacement
Pressure drop indicators signal replacement timing

V.FAQ
Q1: How often should carbon media be replaced?
A: Typically 6-18 months depending on:
Chemical load (higher VOC concentrations = shorter life)
Humidity levels (>70% RH reduces carbon effectiveness)
Q2: Can these filters remove formaldehyde?
A: Yes – Specify KMnO₄-impregnated carbon for optimal formaldehyde removal
Q3: What's the difference between your standard and acid-treated carbon?
| Type | Best For | Limitations |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | VOCs, odors | Weak on acid gases |
| Acid-Treated | SO₂, NOx, HCl | Higher pressure drop |
