V-bank Activated Carbon Filter

Clean-Link supplies V-bank activated carbon filters for commercial and industrial applications where odor control, VOC removal, and system energy efficiency are critical.

What Is a V-bank Activated Carbon Filter?

A V-bank activated carbon filter uses multiple pleated filter packs arranged in a V-shaped configuration within a rigid frame. This design increases the effective media surface area while maintaining a relatively shallow installation depth.

When integrated with activated carbon media, the V-bank structure allows longer contact time between air and carbon, supporting effective removal of gaseous contaminants at high airflow rates.

Key Advantages of V-bank Carbon Filters

V-bank activated carbon filters offer several advantages compared to flat or single-layer carbon filters:

• Large media surface area in a compact footprint

• Lower pressure drop at high airflow volumes

• Improved airflow distribution across the filter face

• Enhanced adsorption capacity and service life

• Energy-efficient operation in large air handling units

These characteristics make them suitable for continuous operation in high-capacity HVAC systems.

Contaminants Removed

V-bank activated carbon filters are designed to adsorb:

• Odors from commercial and industrial sources

• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

• Solvent vapors and chemical fumes

• Low to moderate concentrations of gaseous pollutants

Adsorption performance depends on carbon type, media loading, and system operating conditions.

Typical Applications

V-bank activated carbon filters are commonly used in:

• Commercial buildings and office complexes

• Airports and transportation hubs

• Shopping malls and public facilities

• Data centers and technical rooms

• Hospitals and healthcare facilities

• Industrial HVAC and ventilation systems

They are especially suitable for systems with high airflow and limited installation space.

Filter Media and Configuration Options

Clean-Link V-bank activated carbon filters are available with various design options, including:

• Carbon-loaded synthetic or nonwoven media

• Standard or impregnated activated carbon

• Multiple V-bank configurations and depths

• Rigid frames for high structural stability

• Standard and custom dimensions

Filter configurations can be tailored to meet specific airflow and contaminant control requirements.

Integration in Multi-Stage Filtration Systems

V-bank activated carbon filters are typically installed:

• Downstream of prefilters and fine particulate filters

• As a gas-phase filtration stage within HVAC systems

Proper upstream particulate filtration helps protect the carbon media, maintain adsorption efficiency, and extend filter service life.

Selection Considerations

When selecting V-bank activated carbon filters, key factors include:

• Target gases and odor sources

• Airflow rate and system capacity

• Available installation depth

• Acceptable pressure drop limits

• Desired service life and maintenance strategy

Careful selection ensures balanced performance between adsorption efficiency and energy consumption.
