IP Rated Air Filters Protect electronic enclosures from containment ingress

Custom Harsha Filters products are configurable to meet a wide range of enclosure IP ratings:

Electronics Enclosures Industrial Control Equipments

Commercial Equipments Indoor Enclosures

Outdoor Cabinets Outside Plant Applications

Air filters protect electronic equipment and commercial enclosures from dust, debris, and water to help ensure reliable operation. These enclosures are designed for multiple applications and deployed in a wide variety of harsh environments that require various levels of equipment protection. The Ingress Protection (IP) scale, in accordance with IEC Standard 60529, defines the level of contaminant protection. Designers use IP ratings to specify and test according to the environmental and operating conditions of the equipment. Air filters are critical in helping ventilated enclosures meet the desired IP rating.

The IP Rating chart below shows the various degrees of contaminant protection. Each IP rating consists of two numbers. The first number defines the level of dust and foreign object protection and the second number defines the level of liquid protection. While IP ratings apply to the enclosure and not the air filter, air filters are a key component in meeting IP rating requirements for dust and water ingress protection and equipment reliability.

Universal Air Filter Company specializes in providing design support to help engineers meet IP rating requirements for enclosures. Contact HARSHA FILTER for design support and made to specification prototypes.

Though air filters are not technically certified to an IP rating, the following IP Rated Air Filter Guide offers guidelines in selecting an air filter with the appropriate level of protection to help meeting an IP enclosure rating.

1. Outside Plant Filters Eliminate dust, water, wind driven rain and salt fog ingress

High efficiency, low pressure drop membrane air filters are the answer for enclosure engineers looking to take advantage of direct air cooling systems for electronics equipment protection. Custom outside Plant Air Filters keep dust, water, wind driven rain and salt fog out of electronics enclosures that use fresh air and direct air cooling systems. Cabinets for copper, fiber, coax, ADSL, wireless, and power applications can now use outside air vented cooling systems in place of costly, inefficient closed air-to-air heat exchangers. High efficiency outside plant filters allow designers to utilize ambient air to cool vented systems, increasing efficiency and reducing operating costs compared to closed systems with limited heat dissipation capacity, higher overall equipment cost and higher operating costs associated with condenser-equipped air conditioning systems. Outside Plant filters provide superior water and airborne contaminant protection in compliance with stringent industry standards including GR 487, NEMA, and IP enclosure standards. HARSHA FILTER’s unique design includes a cleanable/replaceable pre-filter to extend the life of the high-efficiency media, in a single, low-cost, integrated assembly. In addition to high efficiency Outside Plant filters, Universal Air Filter Company also manufactures foam and metal mesh flat panel filters for use in outdoor environments. Outside Plant membrane filters can help to meet the following enclosure ratings: Telcordia GR-487-CORE IP Ratings: IP50, IP51, IP52, IP54, IP55 NEMA Ratings: NEMA 3, NEMA 3R, NEMA 3S, NEMA 4, NEMA 5, NEMA 6 Application: Communications – Telecom & Datacom Computer Networking Military / Defense Industrial Machinery Specifications: The high efficiency Outside Plant media is typically provided in a pleat configuration of 7.5 pleats per inch to maximize airflow and dust holding capacity. The pleat depth is available from 1.0″ to 4.0″ to meet the airflow and dust holding requirements of a variety of applications. Industry leading media technology allows for higher airflow and lower pressure drop resistance compared to other competitive media offerings. Media: The Outside Plant filter media is a UPE Membrane (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene with micro glass backer). The media HEPA grade material is rated to 99.95% efficiency at 0.3 microns. Designed

to operate in harsh outdoor environments, the media virtually eliminates dust, water, wind driven rain, and salt fog ingress. Industry leading media technology allows for higher airflow and lower pressure drop resistance compared to other competitive media offerings. Cleanable foam pre-filter is integrated into the framed assembly to help extend the life of the Outside Plant filter. Frame: Customized frame profiles are fabricated with 0.040″ thick aluminum designed to provide a rugged filter assembly. The aluminum is available is a RoHS compliant corrosion resistant finish Standards & Classifications: GR-487 NEMA IP Dust Efficiency: HEPA Grade 99.95% Efficiency at 0.3 microns

2. High Efficiency Filters High efficiency pleated media eliminates airborne particles

HVAC systems and commercial/industrial enclosures are exposed to a variety of airborne particles including dust, mold, and pollen. Removing these particles with a high efficiency filter can extend equipment operating life and enhance air quality. Custom high efficiency MERV 11, MERV 13, and MERV 15 pleated filter products from Harsha Filters offer high dust loading for maximum service life while reducing air flow resistance. The 100% synthetic media is highly effective at removing 0.3 – 1.0 micron particles from the air stream and is adhesively bonded to all four sides of the filter frame to eliminate air bypass. A rigid aluminum frame and robust media are extremely durable and are designed to withstand damage from shipping, handling, and installation.

Application:

Custom high efficiency pleated filters are designed to remove dust and other particles for fan cooled indoor and outdoor industrial / electronic enclosures. This product is also well suited to enhance indoor air quality by removing airborne irritants for HVAC and air handling applications.

Frame: Standard filter assemblies are available in an overall thickness of 0.88” and 1.88”. The frame is roll formed into a strong sturdy one-piece channel, using 0.025″ thick, 3000 series aluminum. The frame is tightly fitted to filter media and fastened with an aluminum rivet. Model number and air flow direction are roll imprinted into the frame. Part number is metal stamped into frame for quick, accurate identification.
