V-Bank Synthetic Air Filter – MERV 15 – 4V

Key Benefits

Technical Specifications

High-Efficiency Synthetic Media Performance

The V-Bank Synthetic Filter uses high-efficiency synthetic filtration media arranged in a mini-pleat configuration. The extended media surface area allows the filter to provide efficient particulate filtration while maintaining the compact rigid-box format required by many HVAC installations.

The synthetic media construction is designed for demanding operating conditions where moisture exposure, variable airflow, and turbulence can affect conventional filter designs. The filter is available from MERV 11 through MERV 15 to accommodate different particulate filtration requirements.

MERV & EN 779 Filter Grade Selection

Select the appropriate filter grade according to the facility's particulate filtration requirements, HVAC design, airflow conditions, and allowable pressure drop.

V-Bank Mini-Pleat Design for High Airflow

The V-bank configuration divides the filter media into angled sections, increasing the effective filtration surface area available within the filter footprint. Combined with the mini-pleat design, this configuration supports high airflow while minimizing resistance.

The extended-surface construction is designed to provide greater media utilization than conventional flat panel arrangements while maintaining a compact rigid box configuration suitable for air handlers, filter banks, and VAV systems.

Performance Under Variable & Turbulent Airflow

The rigid box construction and thermoplastic bead separators are designed to maintain consistent pleat geometry under variable airflow and turbulent operating conditions. This makes the V-Bank Synthetic Filter particularly suitable for HVAC systems where airflow demand changes during operation.

ABS Frame & 20 mm Header Construction

The V-Bank Synthetic Filter uses a non-metallic ABS plastic frame designed to provide a lightweight and durable enclosure for the synthetic media pack.

The 20 mm header provides the mounting interface for compatible HVAC filter racks and built-up filter bank systems.

Always verify the existing housing dimensions, header configuration, sealing arrangement, and installation orientation before ordering a replacement filter.

Fully Incinerable Non-Metallic Construction

The V-Bank Synthetic Filter uses a non-metallic, fully incinerable construction. The filter can be disposed of by incineration without separating metallic frame components from the filter media.

This construction can simplify end-of-life handling for facilities where incinerable filter disposal is preferred or required, including compatible pharmaceutical, healthcare, food processing, and other controlled environments.

How to Select the Right V-Bank Synthetic Filter

1. 1

   Identify the Required MERV Rating

   Select MERV 11, MERV 13, MERV 14, or MERV 15 according to the particulate filtration requirements of the facility and HVAC application.

2. 2

   Verify Airflow & Pressure-Drop Requirements

   Confirm that system airflow remains within the specified maximum operating velocity of 625 fpm (3.175 m/s) and that the HVAC system can accommodate the specified pressure-drop conditions.

3. 3

   Confirm Housing Compatibility

   Verify that the existing housing accepts the required V-bank rigid box configuration with ABS frame and 20 mm header. Confirm actual filter dimensions, mounting arrangement, and sealing requirements before ordering.

4. 4

   Verify Operating Conditions & Disposal Requirements

   Confirm operating temperature does not exceed 176°F (80°C). Where incinerable disposal is applicable, confirm that the facility's disposal process accepts the filter's fully incinerable non-metallic construction.

V-Bank Synthetic Filter vs. Bag Filters & Standard Box Filters

Compared with conventional bag-style filters, the V-Bank Synthetic Filter uses a rigid box configuration and mini-pleat V-bank geometry. This provides a more structurally stable format for applications exposed to variable or turbulent airflow while maximizing the available media surface area within the filter footprint.

Compared with conventional standard box filters, the mini-pleat V-bank configuration is designed to provide high effective media area and efficient airflow in a compact rigid construction. Synthetic media additionally provides moisture resistance and a fully incinerable non-metallic construction for compatible applications.

The appropriate filter selection depends on required MERV efficiency, airflow, pressure drop, housing configuration, operating environment, and disposal requirements.
