Superior Model V-KOMPAKT Filter
Superior Model V-KOMPAKT Filter is a high-surface-area compact air filter designed to capture fine particles in HVAC systems. It can be used for second-stage or final-stage filtration. In addition, it provides effective prefiltration to help protect HEPA filters.
Its synthetic nano filter media, V-shaped filter packs and polystyrene frame provide up to 20 m² of filtration area. Reference models offer an initial pressure drop of 67–75 Pa at 3,400 m³/h and an A+ reference energy class.

What Is the Superior Model V-KOMPAKT Filter?
The Superior Model V-KOMPAKT Filter is a high-capacity fine-particle filter. Its synthetic nano filter media is formed into mini-pleated filter packs and positioned in a V geometry inside a polystyrene frame.
The V-shaped arrangement allows a larger filter-media surface within standard face dimensions. Consequently, the large filtration area can reduce media face velocity at the same airflow. It can also help limit the initial pressure drop.
The product family includes ISO ePM1 65% and ISO ePM1 80% classes. Half- and full-module models are designed for nominal airflow rates of 1,700 m³/h and 3,400 m³/h respectively.
Low Pressure Drop Filtration Approach
Filter pressure drop is one component of the total system pressure that an air-handling-unit fan must overcome. Therefore, controlling both initial and operating pressure drop can help limit energy consumption. Fan selection and system automation should also be considered together with filter performance.

Inspection and Maintenance
Filter loading should be monitored regularly with a differential-pressure gauge or pressure transmitter. Replacement decisions should not be based only on operating time. Actual pressure drop, airflow, fan energy consumption and the physical condition of the filter should also be evaluated.
Unless the filter media is explicitly specified as washable, it should not be cleaned with water, chemical cleaners or high-pressure air. Improper cleaning can damage the synthetic nano filter media, pleat geometry, hot-melt separators and polystyrene frame.
