The Camfil AQ13 high-capacity pleated panel filter delivers high indoor air quality and extended service life with pressure drops suitable for most applications.

The AQ13 is the first choice for those facilities whose air handling equipment is limited to air filters 4″ or less. Unlike other MERV 13 pleated panel filters which must be replaced every two or three months, the AQ13 can remain in service up to six months in environments typically found in schools, public buildings, and retail shops.

The AQ stands for air quality and carries a MERV value of MERV 13/10A. This is the highest published MERV value for a standard pleated panel filter with an initial pressure drop similar to commonly used MERV 8 panel filters which often test two MERV levels below; MERV 13/8A.

Engineered to comply with MERV 13 requirements or guidelines and remain in service twice as long as any comparable pleated panel filter, the AQ 13:

• Has 15 pleats per linear foot on the widely used 2″ model.
• Includes a synthetic fiber blend with a unique media loft that delivers a MERV 13/10A capture efficiency.
• Has a welded wire media grid backing, treated for corrosion resistance, preventing media oscillation or filter pack failure as filter pressure drop increases.
• The welded wire backing holds the pleats in a “U” shape which maximizes surface area for long life and lowers resistance to airflow.
• Has a high wet-strength beverage board frame that creates a rigid and durable filter pack. The AQ13 will not bow or deflect throughout its anticipated six-month service life.

These engineered features allow the AQ13 to deliver the highest quality indoor air for twice as long as any other comparable pleated panel filter and with a low-pressure drop that allows it to be used in virtually all pleated panel filter applications.
