THE FAR-AIR FILTERING PRINCIPLE . . .
Herringbone-Crimp Media Design
FAR-AIR Filters obtain maximum efficiency through their herringbonecrimp media design. Zinc electroplated wire mesh is formed in alternate layers of flat and herringbone-crimp to make channeled, triangular openings facing the incoming air flow. Design allows greater air flow, turbulence and effi ciency. Dirt builds up in the mesh on the entering side which diverts the air

flow through the channels to clean mesh where the filtering process continues. The accompanying diagram of progres sive dirt loading shows why FAR-AIR filters have-higher performance,' larger dirt holding capacity, lower pressure loss, easier cleanability and reduced maintenance costs.
FAR-AIR CAPACITIES .
Recommended face velocities are 519 fpm although velocities up to 700 fpm
may be used. Higher air velocities than recommended results 4n greater pressure
loss and a shorter service period. Ve locities lower than 350 fpm are not
recommended.
The following chart can be used as a guide in estimating FAR-AIR Filter
requirements. 4 in. filter thickness has twice the pressure loss of the 2 in. thick ness.

HOLDING FRAMES AND DIMENSIONS
FAR-AIR holding frames are made from 16 gage steel and have a baked enamel finish. Felt stripping around the inside flange assures tight filter fit and prevents air by-pass. Frames are' interlocking and easily bolt together to form a rigid framework. Calking be tween frames in a bank is unnecessary.
Clips hold filters firmly in place. Brae-: ing is not needed in banks up to 5 filters
high by 6 filters wide. Instruction
sheets are included in every shipment.

FAR-AIR Filters and Holding Frames can be furnished in practically any size to meet exact specifications. Sizes over 25 in. X 30 in. are not recommended, however, as
they are difficult to handle.
HOW TO SPECIFY STANDARD TYPE 44 FILTERS & FRAMES
Filter Bhall be permanent, impinge
ment, washable, all metal, panel type. Media shall be zinc electroplated, 14 mesh steel screen, arranged in alternate
layers of flat and herringbone-crimped screens, so that at no point is air flow
restricted to flow through the screen, 4 layejs of each per inch, J-in. rod
reinforced, and enclosed in a frame of 16 gage steel with flush mitered comers. Resistance to air flow of a clean filter
shall not exceed 0.12 in. w. g. at 3.6 cfm per square inch of net face area.
Holding frames shall be factory built on 16 gage steel "T" section, bonderized
and bake enameled, with felt air seal, interlocking edges, and filter locking
device. Filters shall be Far-Air Type 44 and
frames shall be Far-Air Standard Inter locking as manufactured by Farr Com
pany, Los Angeles 45, California.
SELF WASHING FILTERS
GREASE ELIMINATORS
These completely automatic units wash and re-oil themselves on any frequency cycle desired. Each is made up from 4 in. thick corrosion-resistant filters in
combination to meet any cfm require
ment. Washing water and contami
nated oil is immediately flushed away, eliminating messy sludge and oil sumps.
There is no oil entrainment. Each unit has _ a safety deluge valve that auto matically prevents fire from passing
the unit. Installation is simple and
inexpensive.
FAR-AIR Grease Eliminators consist of two standard filters in a special adapter with drip pan. These units halt the deposit of highly combustible grease and lint in the air ducts, reduce maintenance, protect blower and fan, provide better ventilation and sanita tion. Available in sizes and types to meet any cfm requirement.
Full catalog and technical information on any FAR-AIR product is available on request ... or see Sweet's Architec
tural File.
