K&N Engineering’s Industrial Group introduced washable, reusable, sustainability-focused air filtration solutions that come with a 15-year product life cycle. The new, sustainable alternatives to single-use filters are highly customizable to meet unique customer specifications and to ensure the highest performance, reduce waste, and maximize savings.
Proper air filtration is critical to data centers, as dust buildup can lead to fan failures, overheating and — in worst cases — costly disruptions in service. Dirty air filters reduce operational efficiency and increase energy consumption and costs. As a safeguard, data centers and other mission critical facilities change air filters often. These disposable filters end up in landfills across the globe, where the filter media, cardboard and metal components pile up.
