General

Flanders Alpha 95 filters are designed for use in HVAC applications requiring cleaner air than is possible with ASHRAE rated filters, but where HEPA filtered air is not required. The filters are rated at 95% efficiency on 0.30 micrometer particles by the DOP test method. The Alpha 95 is rated MERV 17 per ASHRAE Standard 52.2.

Alpha 95 filters are identical in design and con- struction to the Alpha Cell HEPA filters except that the media is 95% efficient on 0.30 micrometer par- ticles.

Installation Considerations

Alpha 95 filters should be installed in Flanders leak tight Alpha HEPA frames or Surelock Side Access HEPA Housings on the positive-pressure side of the system fan to prevent air bypass. Sureaire diffuser sections, air mixing baffles or long transitions should be used if the bank is close to the fan.

Installation of Flanders ASHRAE efficiency prefilters upstream of the fan is recommended to ensure economical Alpha 95 filter life.

Standard Alpha 95 filters have 1.7 times the cfm capacity of standard Alpha Cell 99.97% DOP HEPA filters at the same clean pressure drop. They are normally rated at 500 fpm so that filter banks with 95% DOP filters can be sized the same as ASHRAE-rated filter banks.

Typical applications for Alpha 95 include:

•Hospitals
