Pleated panel air filters

The workhorse panel filter for buildings and data halls.

Braden pleated panel air filter

Overview

Pleated panels are the everyday workhorse of commercial HVAC and data hall air handling. Pleating the media puts more of it in the airstream than a flat pad, so the filter captures more and lasts longer at a modest pressure drop.

Braden manufactures self-supporting and wire-backed pleated panels from MERV 8 to MERV 13, plus MERV 11A and MERV 13A panels rated to ASHRAE Standard 52.2 Appendix J.

Questions about pleated panel filters

What does the A in MERV 11A or MERV 13A mean?

The A means the filter was rated using Appendix J of ASHRAE Standard 52.2, which conditions the filter before testing so the rating reflects efficiency without any temporary electrostatic charge. Braden manufactures pleated panels rated MERV 11A and MERV 13A.
