UAF - Outside Plant Air Filters
The UAF Outside Plant filter utilizes newly developed high efficiency media technology that offers protection from dust, wind-driven rain and salt fog ingress at higher air flow and lower initial resistance than similarly rated filters. The OSP filter provides the cost-effective answer for enclosure engineers looking to take advantage of direct air-cooling systems for electronics equipment protection. Cabinets installed in harsh environments for telecommunications, power generation, video or LED displays, kiosks, military/defense, and any other industrial or commercial outdoor enclosure can now use outside air vented, energy efficient direct air-cooling systems in place of costly, inefficient closed air-to-air heat exchangers while maintaining a robust IP65 level of protection.
UAF OSP filters provide superior water and airborne contaminant protection in compliance with stringent industry enclosure standards including GR 487, NEMA, IP, MIL-STD-810E in an assembly that is RoHS compliant and UL900 rated. UAF developed the OSP media to achieve the same efficiency of comparable filters with up to 30% lower initial resistance and better pleat integrity under extreme loading, effectively allowing our customers to achieve significant cost savings through decreased power consumption and longer filter life. UAF’s unique OSP filter design incorporates a cleanable/replaceable pre-filter to extend the life of the high-efficiency media in a custom, cost effective, integrated assembly.
Dust Efficiency
Minimum 99.0% efficiency at 0.3 microns, and tests to IP6X dust requirements.
Wind Driven Rain
OSP filters have been tested and certified to meet the rain intrusion requirements of GR-487 CORE, Issue 5 and IPX5 without the aid of mechanical protection of any kind, including louvers, hoods, or screens.
Rain Intrustion
The Outside Plant filter utilizes newly developed high efficiency media in pleat configurations that maximize airflow and efficiency at each pleat depth. The OSP filter uses an anodized aerospace grade aluminum frame at select filter/pleat depths in any custom size (width or length). Each filter is urethane sealed to be water tight and tested to ensure consistent performance. A moisture resistant Neoprene gasket can be added to either side of the filter frame to prevent air bypass and provide a water-tight seal. A cleanable/replaceable foam pre-filter is integrated into the framed assembly to help extend the life of the OSP filter assembly.
Salt Fog Exposure
OSP filters have passed a 30 day salt fog test using a 5% salt fog concentration per ASTM B 117 in accordance with GR-487 CORE, Issue 5. The aluminum frame material is coated with a clear anodized finish that meets corrosion resistance per MIL-A-8625.
