3 min read

The AFU 1200 is an advanced NBC / CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) filter designed for use as part of air filtration and ventilation systems installed in safe rooms, civil defence shelters, bunkers, industrial facilities and other protected environments.

According to the product information, the AFU 1200 is a standard filter for use in CBRN filtration systems. It can also be integrated into other types of compatible systems or used to replace existing filters.

Applications of the AFU 1200

The AFU 1200 is designed for integration into air filtration and ventilation systems used in:

Safe rooms
Civil defence shelters
Bunkers
Industrial facilities
Other protected facilities

The filter can be used as part of a dedicated CBRN filtration system or integrated into another compatible ventilation system when replacing an existing filter.

Main Technical Specifications

The published specifications for the AFU 1200 are:

Parameter	Specification
Filter type	NBC / CBRN
Nominal airflow	1,200 m³/h
Pressure drop at nominal airflow	500 Pa
Mechanical filter efficiency	≥99.995%
Filter weight	236 kg

These parameters are the technical characteristics specified for the AFU 1200 product.

Mechanical Filtration Efficiency

The AFU 1200 has a specified mechanical filter efficiency of ≥99.995%.

This is the mechanical filtration efficiency stated for the filter itself. The performance of a complete protected-air system depends on the configuration and characteristics of the entire ventilation and filtration installation.

Nominal Airflow

The AFU 1200 provides a nominal airflow of 1,200 m³/h.

This parameter is important when determining the compatibility of the filter with a particular ventilation and air-filtration system.

The specified pressure drop at nominal airflow is 500 Pa.

Integration Into Existing Systems

The AFU 1200 is described as a standard filter for use in CBRN filtration systems. At the same time, it can be integrated into other types of systems or used as a replacement for existing filters.

This allows the product to be considered both for new CBRN filtration installations and for compatible existing ventilation systems requiring filter replacement.

Filter Weight

The published weight of the AFU 1200 is 236 kg.

This specification is important when planning transportation, installation and the structural arrangement of the equipment within the ventilation system.

Engineering Considerations

Selection of an NBC / CBRN filter should be based on the requirements of the complete air filtration and ventilation system.

For the AFU 1200, the principal published parameters are:

1,200 m³/h nominal airflow
500 Pa pressure drop at nominal airflow
≥99.995% mechanical filter efficiency
236 kg weight

These specifications can be used to evaluate the filter's compatibility with a particular installation.

Conclusion

The AFU 1200 NBC / CBRN filter is designed as a filtration component for air filtration and ventilation systems serving safe rooms, civil defence shelters, bunkers and industrial facilities.

Its published technical characteristics include a nominal airflow of 1,200 m³/h, a pressure drop of 500 Pa at nominal airflow, mechanical filtration efficiency of ≥99.995%, and a weight of 236 kg.

The AFU 1200 can be used as a standard filter in CBRN filtration systems and can also be integrated into other compatible systems or used to replace existing filters.
