HVAC Filters / AR208

Salt-Mist Air Filter

Air filtration for coastal environments.

Two-layer glass fiber media captures airborne sea-salt particles. Applications include coastal factories and air intake systems.

Standard models and custom dimensions available. Ask us to match your filtration requirements.

Product overview

What it is and where it fits.

The AR208 salt-mist filter protects buildings and equipment near the coast from airborne sea salt. Two layers of water-repellent glass fibre — coarse and fine — share the collection load for salt particles in the 0.5–30 µm range described in the catalogue.

It is used at the air intakes of coastal factories, hotels, power facilities and precision processes such as semiconductor manufacturing, where salt deposits cause corrosion and contamination. Standard- and high-airflow versions are listed in 150 mm and 292 mm depths.

Construction & performance

Coastal air filtration

Designed for air intakes in coastal buildings and factories exposed to sea-salt aerosol. The catalogue describes salt particles over a 0.5–30 μm range.

Construction

Coarse and fine water-repellent glass fiber layers share the collection load. Galvanized steel, aluminum or stainless steel frames are available.

Applications & efficiency

Applications include coastal factories, hotels, power facilities, semiconductor manufacturing and precision processes. Catalogue dust-spot efficiency is 95%; standard- and high-airflow configurations are listed below.

Selection guide

How to choose.

01

Frame material near the sea

Stainless steel or aluminium frames resist salt corrosion better than galvanised steel.

02

Standard or high airflow

For a 610×610×292 mm filter the catalogue lists 3,400 m³/h (standard) and 4,250 m³/h (high airflow).

FAQ

Common questions.

Why do coastal buildings need salt filters?

Sea-salt aerosol is hygroscopic and corrosive. Deposits on coils, electronics and products cause corrosion and contamination; a salt-mist filter at the intake removes it before it enters the building.

Why is the media water-repellent?

Salt particles absorb moisture in humid coastal air. Water-repellent glass fibre keeps its structure and efficiency when the air is damp.
