The AC Infinity Inline Filter Box is a ventilation accessory designed to improve air quality by filtering out various airborne contaminants. This device is intended for inline installation within ductwork systems, working in conjunction with inline fans to provide filtered airflow. It comes with a MERV 13 filter, which is a key component for its filtration capabilities.

Function Description

The primary function of the Inline Filter Box is to house and utilize a MERV 13 pleated air filter to trap particles from the air passing through a ventilation system. The MERV 13 filter is specifically designed to capture particles ranging from 0.3 to 1.0 microns in size with 90% efficiency. This high level of filtration targets a wide range of contaminants, including bacteria, smog, various dust particles, legionella, mold, most tobacco smoke, sneeze nuclei, pet dander, and welding fumes. By integrating this filter box into a ducting system, users can significantly enhance the air quality in their environment, making it suitable for applications that require cleaner air, such as grow rooms, AV rooms, closets, or general home ventilation. The box is constructed from durable materials to ensure a sturdy and aesthetic build, featuring 1mm thick SPCC steel and aluminum duct collars with a powder-coated black finish. Its design aims for highly efficient filtration with minimal airflow restriction, ensuring that the ventilation system maintains optimal performance while effectively cleaning the air.

Usage Features

The Inline Filter Box is designed for straightforward inline installation, making it easy to integrate into existing or new ductwork systems. Before installation, it is crucial to disconnect power to any fans or appliances that will be connected to the filter box to ensure safety. The filter box is placed and connected between an inline fan and the ductwork. A critical step before use is to remove the plastic wrapping from the MERV filter. The box features a hinge-sealed door with a simple slide lock, which provides quick access to the interior for filter replacement and cleaning. This accessibility ensures that maintaining the device is not cumbersome. When connecting the filter box to ductwork, it is recommended to use aluminum tape to completely seal the duct connections, preventing any air leakage and ensuring that all air passes through the filter for maximum efficiency.

The device is available in different sizes to accommodate various duct diameters: 4", 6", 8", and 10". The 4" and 6" filter boxes are compatible with 12 x 20 x 1" MERV filters, while the 8" and 10" filter boxes are compatible with 14 x 20 x 1" MERV filters. This flexibility allows users to select the appropriate size for their specific ventilation needs.

An important consideration during usage is the potential for condensation. If cold air passes through the filter box in a warm area, or if warm air passes through it in a cool area, condensation may occur inside the box. To mitigate this, users can apply insulation to the interior of the filter box using their chosen material. This feature highlights the thoughtful design that accounts for varying environmental conditions and helps users maintain optimal performance and longevity of the filter box. The neoprene seal on the door further enhances its usage by creating an airtight seal, preventing unfiltered dust and particles from bypassing the filter and entering the system.

Maintenance Features

Maintaining the AC Infinity Inline Filter Box is designed to be simple and user-friendly, primarily focusing on filter replacement and general cleaning.

Replacing the Filter: The MERV filter inside the box needs periodic replacement to maintain effective filtration. The process involves unlocking the hinge-sealed door to access the filter compartment. Once the door is open, the used MERV filter can be easily removed from its slot. A new MERV filter is then inserted into the slot, ensuring it slides in correctly. After the new filter is in place, the door is closed and locked, securing the filter and maintaining the airtight seal. The frequency of filter replacement will depend on the usage environment and the level of airborne contaminants.

Cleaning the Filter Box: Over time, the interior surfaces of the filter box may accumulate dust and debris, even with the filter in place. To address this, the filter box can be cleaned by wiping the inner walls with a clean, damp cloth. This simple cleaning procedure helps to maintain the overall hygiene of the ventilation system and ensures that the filter box continues to operate efficiently without any buildup impeding airflow or harboring contaminants. The quick access provided by the slide lock and hinge-sealed door makes this cleaning task convenient for the user.
