High efficiency nano-technology filter
elements
Ultra.air Group has announced the launch of a new generation of high efficiency nano-technology Ultra.filter elements that save up to 70% energy costs
Superior filtration efficiency and performance, energy cost savings of up to 70 percent and extended service intervals are all possible with the Ultra.filter elements thanks to the unique patented radial technology Annual energy cost savings of up to 70 percent are possible when using the Ultra.filter element

Controller brings flexibility in motor protection
The new ABB Universal Motor Controller, UMC22, offers a powerful and flexible intelligent control device for motor protection applications, and is designed for use with the new ABB Fieldbus Plug
Such dramatic energy savings are achieved through the use of high quality components alongside the state-of-the-art Ultra.air patented radial technology that combines a unique combination of binder-free, non-woven nanofibre filter media with pleating technology.
The new Ultra.filter element integrates a multi-layer binder free nanofibre filter media.
Unlike conventional filter elements, the fibres of the Ultra.air nano-filter media are not bonded with an adhesive, instead they are thermally welded.

This greatly improves the dirt-holding capacity.
The new nano-filter media is also oleophobic.
As a result oil and water are actively rejected.
Such features reduce the differential pressure drop, which in turn reduce operating costs compared with traditional filter elements.
In addition, nanofibres are 10 times finer than conventional micro-fibres.
Consequently the Ultra.filter element ensures superior filtration efficiency.
Filtration performance is further improved and service life extended due to the three-dimensional structure of the Ultra.filter element which separates solid particles in the pre-filter layer.
The Ultra.filter element has been trialled at the University of Amberg in Germany.
Tests demonstrated that, depending on the size, opting for a high efficiency Ultra.filter element will save the user up to GBP1,100 per filter per annum in energy costs!.
A key reason for this immense increase in filter element performance is the pleating of the nanofibre media.
The pleating process mechanically folds the non woven filter media many times.
This increases the filter area making it 450 percent larger than that of a conventional wrapped filter element, significantly improving the dirt-holding capacity.
Upgrading to this innovative technology can be seamlessly achieved with the size and connection of all the Ultra.filter elements being identical to the first generation.
Additionally, Ultra.filter elements are compatible with other makes of filter housings.
Ultra.filter elements from Ultra.air are available with flow rate capacities from 20 - 38,400 m3/h.
