Vortox Panel Air Filters are of the cleanable, impingement, viscous-coated type with exceptionally low air flow resistance. They are made for use in air conditioning, ventilation, range canopies, and general air filtration.
FILTER ELEMENT. Fabricated of elas tic units of fine steel wire positively interlocked to provide a permanent filter, the element offers many advantages: (1) In a 2 in. x 20 in. x 20 in. panel there are from 9300 to over 15,000 feet of fine steel wire, depending upon the type. (2) Even distribution of the filaments exposes innumerable viscous-coated sur faces to the air stream, thus obtaining the most effective cleaning for the space occupied. (3) Proper spacing of filaments prevents clogging and assures maximum dust removal efficiency. (4) Structural strength and permanent resilience com bine to withstand the "packing" effect of vibration and pulsation.
EFFICIENCY. Due to the superior char acteristics of the filter element, Vortox Panel Air Filters are efficient at both high and low air flows. Consequently, to reduce the cost of the original installa tion or to save space, fewer Vortox filters
may be used at higher air veloci ties. To assure a longer servicelife, more Vortox filters may be used at lower velocities.
In either case Vortox Panel Air Filters provide better cleaning at lower costs.
OPERATION. Dust-laden air entering the filter flows in an extremely tortuous path at relatively high velocity. Numer ous changes in direction cause the dust particles to impinge on the adhesive viscous-coated surfaces of the filter element. Coarser particles collect near the entrance, while most of the finer particles penetrate to a greater depth. As the entrance becomes saturated with dust, the cleaning action takes place deeper in the filter and the restriction is increased slightly. Increased restriction diverts the air to cleaner parts of the filter element and the process continues. This results in a distributed dust load, higher over-all efficiency and greater to tal dust-holding capacity. Vortox Types VN, VH, and VG have a single thick ness of fine mesh screen on the down stream side of the filter to prevent col lected matter, which might become dislodged, from entering the clean air
ducts.
EASY TO CLEAN. All dust and lint are easily''and completely flushed from the filter by water or steam sprays.

These filters are also made in 4-in. thickness Some filter manufacturers specify very high velocities which are applied to certain internal dimensions of the filter. The range of capacities stated above are computed on the basis of average to high velocities applied to the total filter area using the actual outside dimensions of Vortox Panel Air Fil ters.

The Popular WILSON HONEYCOMB
Here you have the popular HONEY COMB air filter. Embodying the cus tomary fiber bound edges and cellular metal face, the HONEY-COMB offers a new air cleaning principle to scientific filter design. Laboratory tests prove that no man-made fibre, or other non-ab sorbent surface,-can equal natural hair as a medium for trapping and holding dust--with a minimum resistance to air flow.
The Famous
WILSON EDGESEAL
Wilson EDGESEAL filters whip that old problem, marginal leakage. By spring ing to fit, due to highly processed ani mal hair, scientifically bound, EDGESEAL adds an extra 20 per cent of face filtering area. Even greater is the addi tion to holding capacity. This filter works perfectly in the home. Filter banks de manding maximum area, a complete seal, and top efficiency should always use EDGESEAL. This advanced filter reaches you ready to install for your greatest satisfaction and protection.
