Britain’s Biggest Climate Change Campaign – 12 to 18 March 2012

The Federation of Environmental Trade Associations is supporting Climate Week in 2012 and challenging their membership to get involved and showcase some of the exciting steps being taken to tackle climate change and enhance sustainability across the manufacturing, contracting, and built environment sectors.

Climate Week is a supercharged national campaign to inspire a new wave of action on climate change. It culminates with thousands of events and activities taking place throughout the week of 12 to 18 March 2012, planned by organisations from every part of society. Showcasing real, practical ways to combat climate change, the campaign aims to renew our ambition to create a more sustainable, low-carbon future.

Entries are now open for the high profile Climate Week Awards, showcasing the most inspirational and impressive actions taking place across all sectors of society. For 2012 the judging panel contains figures such as the former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson, the Bishop of London, and the former UK Secretary of State for the Environment, Lord Deben. Past winners included a community-run hydroelectric project in Settle, North Yorkshire, a virtually waterless new washing machine that uses polymer beads to clean clothes, and a schools project in the North East that has resulted in over 18,000 hours of pupil-led activities.

Energy Efficiency – A new way of comparing air filters – put your supplier to the test

Camfil Farr Admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:20:23 +0000

There is a good chance that, at this very moment, you are breathing clean air that has passed through a filter manufactured by us. Our products can be found everywhere from offices to clean rooms for sensitive electronics production, mines, factories, hospitals and nuclear power stations.

The new Eurovent energy classification facilitates filter comparisons. Filters are now graded from A to G, with “A” standing for the lowest energy consumption and “G” for the highest. The new classification, based on EN779:2012**, gives customers a clearer understanding of a filter’s annual energy consumption, initial efficiency and minimum efficiency. To reflect this new classification system, Camfil Farr is now changing the labels and product names of filters to include the new A to G energy rating. This information clearly points out the difference between our filters and competitor products, making it easier to select the right filter for the right application for the best energy efficiency and filtration.

At last, buyers of air filters will find it a lot easier to find the right filter– regarding both energy efficiency and indoor air quality. *Eurovent‘s new, objective energy efficiency classification has now been implemented. Now all air filters can be graded from A to G – A for the lowest energy consumption and G for the highest. The new classification is based on EN779:2012 and will give you a good understanding of annual energy consumption, initial efficiency and minimum efficiency.

Higher demands -As the price of energy increases and the demands of reducing CO2 emissions get tougher, the energy consumption related to air filters has become the focus of attention. Currently, air filters are classified only by their average efficiency. The new energy classification is far more precise.

The new standard – The energy consumption of air filters can be determined as a function of the volume flow rate, the fan efficiency, the operation time and the average pressure drop. Due to the dust loading during operation, the pressure drop of an air filter is constantly increasing. The related energy consumption during a certain period of time can be calculated from the integral average of the pressure drop over this period of time.

Put your supplier to the test – Many suppliers do not test their filters properly, making it impossible for customers to compare different brands. At Camfil, we test all our filters to guarantee a high standard of quality. Does your air filter supplier have what it takes?

With soaring power prices and new energy directives, it will always pays to save energy in ventilation systems by using the right air filters.

**EN779:2012 is the new European standard for air filters.

30/30 “Definitely the best pre-filter in the World”

Camfil Farr Admin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 11:25:04 +0000

As we enter 2012 and face an uncertain economic situation, it is imperative that in all walks of life and business we get value for money and preserve the resources for the next generation.

At Camfil Farr we always to maintain these principles in everything we do. As air filter manufacturers we design products that deliver resilient economic and health benefits.

One of our flagship product ranges exemplifies this and still maintains the premier position after decades of use.

The 30/30 pre filter range illustrated in the short video clip below leads the way on every business metric. It’s enduring design allows for users to use less product, reduce the maintenance labour cost , reduce the energy consumption required to move the air through the filter and consequently use less packaging.

The 30/30 also clean the air better and certified through the Eurovent rating scheme hence improving the health benefits to all stakeholders.

In the UK alone over 4 million pre-filters are consumed most are changes too frequently because they are just not up to the job. The 30/30 is, but represents only 10% of the UK consumption.

Act now and help us make a difference. Change to 30/30.
