The pleat pack is fabricated from 100% synthetic materials incorporating specially designed radial pleats, shaped and spaced on pre-determined centers. This controlled spacing allows the TRI-CELL IVS to operate on the strainer principle of filtration, promoting diffusion of air pressures over the entire pleated surface. Due to velocity and inertial forces, larger contaminants in the air stream are unable to change direction as the airflow moves up the sidewalk of the pleat and lodge in the bottom of the pleat, while finer microscopic particles are trapped in the sidewalk. Increased media loft (created by particu late build up) is achieved as dirty air angles through the pleat sides. The result is increased efficiency. Each pleat contains continuous synthetic spacer beads that are thermally bonded to both sides of the media. Pleats are thermally formed and the spacer beads run continuous through the full depth of the pack providing superior spacing and support. The result of this process is an exceptionally strong pleat pack with consistent pleat spacing and low resistance to airflow.
REDUCTION IN SHIPPING AND STORAGE COSTS
This minipleat technology allows us to maximize the surface area of each filter while minimizing the depth of the filter. The TRI-CELL IVS utilizes only one third of the storage space of other competitive filters within the same efficiency range. Each shipping carton holds three IVS filters where as other ASHRAE range products are packaged one per case. This allows substantial freight and warehousing savings.
DISPOSABILITY
The TRI-CELL IVS has been tested and certified incinerable by GTS DURATEK, the nations leading facility for testing and incineration of low level hazardous waste. Tri-Dim Filter Corporation strives to lead the industry in a direction of producing products that are friendly to our environment. The IVS was originally engineered for industries where disposal has become a serious issue. Each year our landfills become smaller and the costs become higher, the IVS is the solution for reducing your landfill and disposal costs.
DURABILITY
This uniquely designed product line has been engineered to stand up to the most rigorous environments. This extremely durable, lightweight and rigid media pack stands up to today's toughest working conditions. The IVS will cut down on freight claims due to shipping damages and the time spent returning and rescheduling filter change outs due to damaged product replacements. As illustrated the rigid media pack design can withstand several hundred pounds of pressure without affecting the pleat pack integrity. Competitive, bulky and more costly products are comprised of extremely fragile materials making them highly susceptible to damage.
