Daikin releases MERV 8 filter

Daikin Australia has released its MERV 8 filter – BAF552A160.

“This high-performance filter is designed to be easily retrofitted into VRV FXF(S)Q-AVM and SkyAir FCA-C(A)VMA Round Flow Cassettes to enhance their air filtration capabilities, improve indoor air quality and provide building occupants with healthy, comfortable and productive indoor environments,” Daikin says.

“The Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating system measures the performance of air filters. With a rating of 8, this filter is able to more effectively reduce common indoor air pollutants such as dust, pollen, dander and lint.

“Tested by the Daikin Technology and Innovation Centre, the new MERV 8 Filter is proven to effectively remove up to 70 per cent of 3.0–10μm particles and 20 per cent of 1.0–3.0μm particles.”

Daikin says the MERV 8 filter can replace an existing cassette’s prefilter, with efficiency maintained for up to six months.
