DATA CENTER AIR FILTRATION

Data centers are frequently situated in large, open areas surrounded by nature, making their rooftop HVAC systems especially susceptible to airborne debris such as bugs, leaves, dust, and particularly cottonwood. This buildup can cause significant maintenance challenges. Cleaning these units is often a difficult and time-consuming task — they may be located far from water sources, hard to access, and prone to damage if not cleaned properly by professionals.

A straightforward solution to this problem is the use of Cottonwood Coil Protection air intake filters. These filters are installed on the outside of HVAC systems or cooling towers, where they block debris from reaching the coils or fill material. By keeping contaminants out, they help extend the life of interior air filters and reduce the overall maintenance burden.

COOLING TOWERS

When wet cottonwood accumulates, it forms a tough, paste-like layer that clogs fill media and strainers—leading to system shutdowns and costly labor. Total Equipment Protection filter screens stop cottonwood debris before it enters your equipment, eliminating the mess and preventing unnecessary maintenance and downtime.

CHILLERS

Preventing contaminants from reaching your condenser coils helps reduce or eliminate the need for chemical coil cleaning, while also improving system efficiency and significantly lowering utility expenses.

FRESH AIR INTAKES

Total Equipment Protection Screen act as the first line of defense, capturing larger airborne particles before they reach pleated or metal mesh filters. This protective barrier helps extend the lifespan of high-efficiency air filters and reduces replacement frequency.

Sensitive electronics in enclosures—like data center cabinets, kiosks, and industrial control panels—need cooling fans to stay within operational temperature limits. But those same fans can pull in dust, grease, and fine particulates, risking corrosion, performance loss, and equipment failure over time
