High efficiency HEPA filters of type HEF

of H11-H14 classes

Filters of type HEF (filters НЕРА)

are used for high efficient (final) cleaning of
air and sterilizing filtration in medical
institutions, at pharmaceutical enterprises, and
in clean rooms of other industries
(microelectronics, microbiology, food, etc).
Filters can be also used for cleaning of
extract air form harmful microorganisms and
radioactive aerosols at bacteriological labs,
nuclear power plants, etc.

DESIGN

The filter consists of body 1 in which filter medium 2 is stacked in pleats. To prevent
sticking of adjacent pleats of filter medium they are interlaid with separators made of aluminium foil
3 (fig. 1) or special thread synthetic or plastic 1 pasted on the surface of filter medium 2 (fig. 2).
Filter body can be made of a special aluminium profile, stainless steel or MDF. Filters made
of aluminium structure can be 78; 150 and 300 mm deep. When filter body is made of MDF,
stainless steel sheet, the depth of filters can be different. Filtering medium including aluminium or
thread separators is sealed in the body by sealing on entire perimeter with special adhesive 4 (fig. 1).
Filter body on entire perimeter forms a flange (pressure surface) with the size 15 mm for aluminium
structure, 12mm for MDF, and 18mm for stainless steel body. Rubber seal is pasted on this flange
(on one or two sides).

 Selection of filter based on its characteristics

Filters HEF with aluminium separators are made with the basic sizes of 150 and 300 (292)
mm deep. These filters are made in 2 versions:
- base with quantity of a filter medium specified in tab. 1;
- economic, in which the area of filtering surface is about 1.3 times as large as compared
to the one of base filter with the depth of 150 mm, and for filters of 300 (292) mm in
depth it is 1.5 times as large (tab. 1).
Advantages of the economic filter are lower initial aerodynamic resistance, and increased
resource of life, which, from the field experience for filters of 150 mm in depth, can be 1.5-1.7 times
as great, and for filters of 300 (292) mm in depth the resource of life is 1.8-2.0 times as great as
compared to base version.
Filters with thread separators are manufactured now only as economic version of 78 mm in
depth, and also the similar filtering packet can be installed in body of 150 mm in depth to replace
filters with aluminium separators in economic version.

MARKING

As it was specified above, filters HEF can be made of various designs: by body type
(aluminium profile, MDF, stainless steel); separators (aluminium, thread); class of cleaning
(H10-H14); rubber seal (on one or two sides); dimensions of inlet section and depth;
quantity of filtering material (base and economic); presence of a mesh at filter outlet.

MAINTENANCE

When filters are in operation it is necessary to check their aerodynamic resistance by

readings of manometer. It is necessary to replace filters upon reaching pressure difference
specified in the passport, selected in the project, or based on available pressure in ventilating
system.
