About This Product
V-Bank Mini-Pleat HEPA Filter with the Highest Air Volume Capacity
- AccuraFil HEPA High-Volume V-Bank Filter delivers the highest air volume handling capacity among HEPA filter types — 2000 CFM at 1.05 in. wg — achieved by combining a V-shaped bank configuration with mini-pleat glass fine microfiber media to maximise total effective filter area (291 sq. ft.), reduce face velocity, and lower initial resistance.
- Each filter is individually scan tested per EN 1822 for verified leak-proof performance across the entire filter face, with test results labeled and affixed to each unit. Convenient side handles enable safe and efficient filter replacement in large V-Bank housings and high-access installations.
- Standard galvanized steel frame with optional SS, AL, or MDF. Two-part polyurethane media sealant. Neoprene gasket on the downstream side for clean-side face seal integrity. Hot melt bead separators for consistent mini-pleat spacing throughout service life. UL Classified fire rating.

Performance Attributes
V-Bank Geometry & Mini-Pleat HEPA Performance
-
Highest Air Volume — V-Bank Geometry: The V-Bank mini-pleat architecture maximizes media surface area (291 sq. ft.) far beyond conventional deep-pleat formats — enabling 2000 CFM at 1.05 in. wg initial ΔP versus 1200 CFM at 1.10 in. wg for deep-pleat SC HEPA. This allows AHUs to deliver HEPA-grade filtration at airflow volumes typically restricted to pre-filter setups.
-
Individual Scan Testing per EN 1822: Every unit is tested across its complete face to verify the absence of localized leaks in the media pack, V-Bank frame seal, and downstream Neoprene gasket interface. Test results are documented and affixed to each unit — providing traceable per-unit certification for pharmaceutical GMP validation, hospital commissioning, and ISO cleanroom qualification records.
-
Side Handles & Downstream Neoprene Gasket: Integrated side handles allow safe, controlled filter replacement in large V-Bank housings without contact with media faces or the downstream clean zone. The downstream Neoprene gasket establishes the housing face seal on the clean side, ensuring any potential installation bypass cannot contaminate the downstream supply air stream.

Industry Applications
Critical Industry Application Profiles
Large-Scale Industrial AHUs
E10–E11 grades at maximum airflow for high-volume continuous industrial ventilation where flat HEPA configurations cannot sustain required system flows within the static pressure budget.
Pharmaceutical & Biotech
H13–H14 with individual scan certification and optional PTFE media for GMP manufacturing, aseptic filling, and ISO cleanroom terminal filtration at high recirculation airflow rates.
Hospitals & Operating Theatres
H13 at high supply air volumes for operating theatre ventilation, isolation rooms, and critical care environments requiring HEPA-grade air changes at maximum rates.
Data Centers & Mission-Critical
E11–H12 for high-volume particulate control where energy consumption and pressure drop are primary constraints alongside filtration efficiency.
V-Bank Mini-Pleat HEPA: The highest air volume HEPA capacity — 2000 CFM at 1.05" wg initial pressure drop, five EN 1822 grades E10 through H14, individually scan tested, with optional PTFE media for critical environments.
Selection Guide
How to Select the Right HEPA High-Volume V-Bank Filter for Your Application
-
1
Identify your EN 1822 grade requirement
Select E10–E11 for high-volume pre-filtration stages where sub-HEPA efficiency at maximum airflow is acceptable. Select H12 for applications bridging pre-filtration and full HEPA compliance. Select H13 for hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and ISO Class 5–7 cleanrooms. Select H14 for ISO Class 3–4 cleanrooms and critical containment environments.
-
2
Confirm the need for high airflow or low pressure drop
Specify the HEPA HV V-Bank when a flat deep-pleat or high-capacity HEPA filter cannot sustain the required system airflow within the available static pressure budget. Verify that the 1.05 in. wg initial pressure drop and 2.00 in. wg recommended final pressure drop are compatible with your AHU fan curve.
-
3
Select the media variant
Standard glass fine microfiber media for most industrial and cleanroom applications. Specify PTFE membrane media for pharmaceutical, semiconductor, or applications requiring maximum moisture and chemical resistance or enhanced scan test validation performance.
-
4
Select the frame material and verify installation parameters
Choose GI for standard applications. Select SS for pharmaceutical, food processing, and corrosive environments. Choose AL for weight-sensitive installations. Specify MDF where non-metal construction is required. Confirm the downstream Neoprene gasket is compatible with your housing face seal design and that operating temperature does not exceed 176°F.
Product Comparison
Performance Comparison: Deep Pleat SC and HC HEPA vs. V-Bank HV HEPA
The HEPA HV V-Bank Filter is the top-performing model, utilizing a V-Bank mini-pleat design to provide the highest media surface area (291 sq. ft.). This allows it to handle 2000 CFM while maintaining the lowest resistance (1.05 in. wg), offering superior airflow and energy efficiency compared to traditional designs.
In contrast, the HC HEPA and SC HEPA filter designs use deep-pleat designs with significantly less media surface area. As a result, they support lower airflow capacities — 1700 CFM and 1200 CFM respectively — and operate with a higher initial pressure drop of 1.10 in. wg.
Frequently Asked Questions
Product FAQ
Why does the HEPA High-Volume V-Bank filter handle more air volume than flat HEPA filters?
The V-Bank mini-pleat construction achieves 291 sq. ft. of media area within the same face dimensions, maximizing surface area and minimizing face velocity. This produces a 1.05 in. wg initial pressure drop at 2000 CFM — versus 1.10 in. wg at 1200 CFM for deep-pleat SC HEPA — allowing the same AHU to handle substantially higher air volumes without exceeding system static pressure limits.
What is the difference between the five EN 1822 grades — E10, E11, H12, H13, and H14?
EN 1822 classifies high-efficiency filters by MPPS efficiency: E10 (≥85%), E11 (≥95%), H12 (≥99.5%), H13 (≥99.95%), H14 (≥99.995%). H13 is the standard HEPA grade for hospitals and ISO Class 5–7. H14 is required for ISO Class 3–4 and critical containment. This five-grade range makes the HEPA HV V-Bank uniquely versatile across the full spectrum of high-volume filtration requirements.
What are the optional treated and PTFE media variants?
Standard glass fine microfiber media covers most applications. Treated media incorporates antimicrobial or oleophobic coatings for biological contamination or hydrocarbon aerosol environments. PTFE membrane media is specified for pharmaceutical, semiconductor, or maximum moisture/chemical resistance applications. Contact AccuraFil at https://www.accurafil.com/pages/contact to specify these variants.
Why is the Neoprene gasket positioned on the downstream side?
Positioning the Neoprene gasket on the downstream side ensures the housing face seal is established at the clean-air discharge face of the filter. This means any potential bypass air cannot contaminate the downstream clean zone — standard practice for terminal HEPA applications where protecting the downstream environment is the primary installation requirement.
What does individual scan testing per EN 1822 certify?
Individual scan testing per EN 1822 means every filter unit is tested across its entire face — not batch sampled — to verify the absence of localized leaks in the media pack, frame seal, and gasket interface. Test results are documented and affixed to each filter, providing per-unit traceability for pharmaceutical GMP records, cleanroom validation protocols, and hospital commissioning documentation. Mandatory for H13 and H14 procurement in most critical applications.
