Virus-free air in buildings

Nanoclass Cube Pro Membrane H13 HEPA Air Filter

- Cold season increases COVID-19 risk indoors
- New filter medium reduces the differential pressure compared to conventional HEPA filters by 50 percent
- Upgrade possible without increasing operating costs and plant modifications

Start the cold season well-equipped: The MANN+HUMMEL Group offers building operators a new HEPA H13 air filter according to EN 1822, which safely filters out more than 99.95 percent of viruses, bacteria, and microorganisms from the supply air. During the winter months, the Nanoclass Cube Pro Membrane enables a return to energy-efficient recirculation operation of the system. Infectious virus particles, which can attach to aerosols such as SARS-CoV-2, are thus reliably filtered out. It is now time for building operators and service companies to prepare their heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems accordingly, because as people spend more time indoors during the cold season, the risk of infection increases. Air conditioning systems operating in recirculation mode further favor this.

The filter offers numerous advantages, not least due to MANN+HUMMEL's decades of expertise in air filtration in cleanrooms and operating theaters: It is energy-efficient, and its new ePTFE medium reduces the differential pressure compared to conventional HEPA air filters based on micro-glass fiber by 50 percent. In combination with the MANN+HUMMEL pocket filter Airpocket Eco of energy efficiency class A+, the usual operating costs of a ventilation or air conditioning system hardly differ from a "pre-COVID" filter configuration. Additionally, the Nanoclass Cube Pro Membrane meets fire protection requirements of class E according to EN 13501. Since the air filter is offered in various standard sizes, it can be easily used in almost any ventilation system without modifications.

With the Nanoclass Cube Pro Membrane for central HVAC systems, MANN+HUMMEL completes its portfolio of solutions for virus-free indoor air in buildings and positions itself as a development partner and full-service provider for air hygiene. Part of the program are also the mobile air purifiers of the OurAir product line (see press release from September 15: Link). These antiviral solutions are building blocks on the way back to social and economic life before COVID.
