Hydrophobic Mesh Moisture-Eliminator Air Filter is used for stripping rain and mist droplets out of outdoor air intakes so water does not soak downstream filters, coils and ductwork. AMCA 500-L is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What AMCA 500-L Means for Hydrophobic Mesh Moisture-Eliminator Air Filter
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit AMCA 500-L. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.
Hydrophobic Mesh Moisture-Eliminator Air Filter Dimensions
| Size | Width (mm) | Height (mm) | Thickness (mm) | Media | Max face velocity (m/s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 u00d7 24 u00d7 2 in | 610 | 610 | 50 | Knitted SS304 + PP layers | 3.0 |
| 24 u00d7 12 u00d7 2 in | 610 | 305 | 50 | Knitted SS304 + PP layers | 3.0 |
| 24 u00d7 24 u00d7 4 in | 610 | 610 | 100 | Knitted SS316 multi-layer | 3.5 |
Specifying Hydrophobic Mesh Moisture-Eliminator Air Filter Beyond the Standard
- Face velocity: Keep below about 3 m/s or droplets re-entrain.
- Media: Knitted SS304/316 layered with polypropylene for droplet capture.
- Drainage: Provide a drain path at the bottom of the frame.
When Hydrophobic Mesh Moisture-Eliminator Air Filter Is Not the Right Choice
Not a particulate filter — fit standard filters downstream.
