Wall and window air conditioners contain a cooling system that refrigerates the air entering the unit and then expels the heat from the back of the air conditioner. The operation of your air conditioner depends on the free flow of air over the coil. Environmental elements, like dust, dirt, pollen or lint that gets sucked into the unit’s air intake will block the air flow. Dirt build up will require your AC unit to work harder to remove heat and increase energy consumption and your monthly electric bill. On most models, the air filter is easily accessible by removing the front panel. Over time, dust and dirt will build up on the inside of the air conditioner’s condenser coils without proper filtration. PermaCool is a unique self-supporting, 3-layer thick corrugated weave configuration, which enhances its filtration ability and creates a rigid and durable electrostatic air filter with the convenience of a cut-to-fit solution.
Features and Benefits
- Corrugated and open weave fabric that effectively removes airborne particulates through a combination of impingement and a triboelectric “static” charge for an enhanced attraction of airborne particles, like iron filings to a magnet
- Polypropylene is a petroleum industry by-product which has impressive strength, and resistance to abrasion, bleaches, solvents and aging
- Does not promote mold or mildew
- Can be rinsed or vacuum cleaned
- Will not degrade over time as foam does
- Unlike other filter media which may compress and restrict air flow, PermaCool retains its low air flow resistance design after installation
- Average arrestance efficiency 63%
- Dust holding capacity 100 grams
- Initial air flow resistance 0.04″ w.g.
- Polypropylene is a petroleum industry by-product which has impressive strength, and resistance to abrasion, most acids, alkalies, bleaches, solvents and aging
- Not attacked by mildew
- Can be rinsed or vacuum cleaned
- Will not degrade over time as foam does
- UL Classified as to Flammability Only
- Lifetime warranty
