Element Design and Construction

The single-panel element design of the Dollinger AI-187 provides clean air with low pressure loss and high efficiency. No special tools or parts are required to replace or service Dollinger panel elements. A pull strap provided across the face of each element allows fast and simple change out.

The panel element incorporates a pleated media design which provides optimum filtration area with minimum pressure loss and large dirt holding capacity. An electrogalvanized steel frame and synthetic fiber filter medium combine to make the element cleanable and reusable. A rugged metal frame and wire mesh guards on the element face provide added durability and ensure against rough handling and moisture.

Each panel element of the AI-187 can handle flow rates of 3000 SCFM and provide 99% retention efficiency of 10 microns. After extended use, the elements may be cleaned with a mild detergent solution.
