Koch 90 HC Maxi-Cell Filter 24x24x12-FM

The Koch 90 HC Maxi-Cell Filter 24x24x12-FM is a type of high-efficiency air filter designed for use in HVAC systems, clean rooms, or other applications where air filtration is critical. The “90 HC” refers to its high-efficiency media, and the “Maxi-Cell” designation suggests that it is a larger, more robust filter designed to capture very fine particles. Here’s a breakdown of some of its features and specifications:

Key Features:

1. High-Efficiency Filter Media (90 HC):

   • The “90 HC” likely refers to the filter’s high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) or ultra-low penetration air (ULPA) media. These filters are designed to capture very small particles, such as dust, pollen, smoke, and other airborne contaminants. They typically have a high dust-holding capacity, meaning they can capture a large amount of particles before needing replacement.

2. Maxi-Cell Design:

   • “Maxi-Cell” filters are typically designed with a larger surface area and pleated design, which increases the filter’s efficiency and longevity. This design allows for better airflow and reduces pressure drop, which can be beneficial in systems with higher air volume or for environments requiring consistent filtration.

3. Dimensions:

   • The filter size of 24″ x 24″ x 12″ is typical for industrial and commercial applications, where large air volumes need to be filtered. The 12-inch depth is often associated with deep-cell filters, allowing for a greater amount of filtration material.

4. FM (Fire-Marked):

   • The FM designation means that the filter meets certain fire safety standards. In many commercial and industrial applications, fire safety is a critical factor, and the FM mark ensures that the filter material won’t contribute to the spread of fire, providing an additional layer of safety in systems such as those in healthcare facilities or data centers.

5. Applications:

   • HVAC Systems: It can be used in large HVAC systems to maintain air quality by removing fine particulates.
   • Clean Rooms: This type of filter is often found in clean room environments, which require strict control of air quality, such as in pharmaceutical manufacturing or semiconductor fabrication.
   • Air Purification: It is also useful in industrial air purification, particularly where high levels of air cleanliness are required.
