Pocket Air Filters
Pocket air filters catch more airborne particles and require less frequent replacement than non-pleated panel filters. Bag filters are used in HVAC systems in auto shops, data centers, food and beverage industries, industrial locations, and schools to improve indoor air quality. Because they may dump some trapped material back into the air stream as they deflate, these filters are best suited for situations where air is constantly moving through the filter. Pocket air filters are directional, and their pockets should be aligned vertically when installed. If the filters deflate, this inhibits the redistribution of trapped particles. Pocket air filters are directional, and their pockets should be aligned vertically when installed. If the filters deflate, this inhibits the redistribution of trapped particles. The MERV (minimum efficiency reporting value) rating of a filter determines how well it traps impurities in the air stream depending on the particle sizes it can successfully catch. The higher the MERV value of a filter, the better it captures tiny particles.
