CRFF | FAN FILTER UNIT

INTRODUCTION: CRFF Series
Kruegers CRFF and CRFF-E series of critical room fan filter
units are intended for environments that demand the highest
levels of cleanliness, such as laboratories, clean rooms and
microprocessor assembly areas just to name a few. Each unit
contains an integral HEPA filter for improving contaminant and
particulate removal from supply air. These devices combine
quiet operation, low power consumption and a space saving
low profile design to meet a variety of applications. Additionally,
these devices are modular and can be used in nominally sized
24 x 24 and 24 x 48 grid systems.

Constant Airflow Over a Wide Range of External

Static Pressures

0.6wg (200Pa) of External Static Capability at

90 fpm (0.45 m/s)

CRFF-ARS/CRFF-E-ARS Series Added FEATURES

Constant Volume Airflow

The CRFF-E series of critical room fan filter units contain an
electronically commutative (ECM) brushless DC motor which
delivers constant airflow by adjusting the motor rpm and torque,
compensating for changes in static pressure, filter loading or
other local conditions. Further increasing ease of use, constant
airflow reduces the need for post installation adjustments.
Filter Options and Accessibility
With the ARS model option, through the perforated face which
can be removed for periodic cleaning, HEPA filters are easily
accessible and replaceable from the room side. Utilizing
industry proven gel seal filter technology these units possess
an integral continuous knife edge that penetrates the filters
gel filled pocket, delivering a leak proof sealed unit. The HEPA
filter is protected by an expanded metal face that minimizes
unnecessary and accidental contact with the filter media. To
increase particulate removal, a ULPA filter is available.

Shown left is a typical installation of multiple CRFF fan filter
units mounted above the service area, completely blanketing the critical area with clean,
filtered supply air. For spot applications, a single CRFF can
be mounted over a work bench
or table to reduce particulatecounts.

1 and 2 (HEPA and ULPA), PTFE (45mm and 68mm packs)
are also available.
Total weight of the standard (24 x 48) unit, excluding optional
accessories shall be less than 66 lbs. (30 kg).
FINISH
The filter face guard will be epoxy powder coated expanded
steel. Both the fan plenum and filter housing shall have a mill
finish (powder coat paint or stainless steel exterior-optional),
and sealed airtight.
PERFORMANCE
The unit shall meet or exceed the requirements/specifications
of the following industry standards: ISO Class 5(Class 100
(M 3.5)) air per the latest IEST 14644-1 (Airborne Particulate
Cleanliness Classes). I.E.S.T. Recommended Practices (Laminar Flow Clean Air Devices). Average measured air velocity
will be 90(10) ft/min (.45 m/s), when measured using a Velgrid
(eight readings) 6 in. (152mm) below the filter face. All measured values shall fall within 20% of the measured average.
The sound level shall be approximately 51 dBA (below NC 45))
on low speed or with the optional speed control, measured at
30 in. (762 mm) from the filter face, with the fan delivering an
average air flow velocity of 90 ft/min (.45 m/s). Ambient sound
level less than 35 dBA. Noise measurements are taken with a
clean filter with no external static pressure. Vibration level will
not exceed .09 MILS RMS at 90 ft/min (0.45 m/s).
