ETL

BFPD Micro-filter units are redundant blower filter/pressurization systems designed to pressurize structures to prevent the entrance of contaminated air and to remove harmful gases such as SO2 and H2S. The unit is installed with the six inch offset through an outside wall, with the unit inside the building. It is usually connected with one or more BAC or BAC-WC units. A 12" diameter safe air stack is attached to the outside of the unit and extended to a clean air source. The unit contains a prefilter, chemical filter, refilter and HEPA filter capable of filtering particles down to 0.3 microns in size. Both blowers are rated for 1260 CFM at 4.3" TSP each, with one blower being redundant. Unit options include air distributor with supply grille, stainless or galvanized steel stack with rain cap and bird screen, gas detection relay and stack shutoff damper/motor. These systems are usually used in refineries and chemical plant computer control rooms. The BFPD-VS unit is ETL certified by Intertek Testing Services to be in conformance with applicable UL and CSA codes and standards for General Purpose, Class I, Division II, Groups B, C and D and Class I, Division I, Groups C and D hazardous locations. Operating voltages available are 208/230-3-50/60 or 460-3-50/60.
