Abstract

The invention is directed to a direct replacement air filter that is placed within an air flow channel within an air filtration unit having a housing. A motor in communication with a controller and having an at least one sensor input or a timer or a transceiver and processing module. A filter media storage area is located on one end of the housing, with a pleated, folded filter media folded and compactly stored inside the filter media storage area. An exposed filter media containment area is located on an opposed end within the housing with the filter media extending therebetween. The filter media being paid out or advanced from the filter media storage area is across the housing where it is exposed to air. The motor can be activated by said controller in response to input from the at least one sensor or based on a timed input from said timer and rotate an at least one movement member to move the filter media. This allows for higher efficiency operation and reduces maintenance and energy costs. The sensors and communications capability allow for the use of the filter in providing Air Quality Management (AQM). AQM allows the filter to monitor the quality of the air as it passes through the filter and interact with a network system to monitor the air quality at the point of filtration.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is directed to a direct replacement air handler filter having, in an exemplary embodiment, a one-piece housing. The one-piece housing has a standard width for air handler filters to serve as a drop-in replacement for existing standard filters and future air filters. The housing contains a moving member, an electric motor, a power supply, a controller, and a filter media. The product strives to be a direct replacement for a filter and at the same time be disposable with minimal impact on the environment. The replacement air handler filter is further positioned within a channel in the air handler unit, with air passing within the channel and past the filter media. The replacement air filter has a compact or storage portion of the filter media that is removed to replace initial and subsequent sections of filter media exposed to air within the air handler unit by the present invention . Additional aspects of the invention include re...
