For Cooling • Ventilation • Specialized Military Systems
Manufactured to Meet MIL-PRF-16552
Airsan Navy Air Filters are high-velocity, cleanable metal impingement filters engineered specifically for military and naval applications. Designed and manufactured to meet MIL-PRF-16552, these filters provide reliable protection for mission-critical mechanical and electronic systems aboard military vessels.
Engineered for Demanding Naval Environments
These permanent metal filters capture dirt particles, fine lint, and airborne contaminants through adhesive-based impingement, in which contaminants adhere to a thin film of filter adhesive on the media.
Key Characteristics
- Meets MIL-PRF-16552 military performance requirements
- High-velocity impingement media for efficient particulate capture
- All-metal construction suitable for severe vibration and shock
- Designed for cleaning, rinsing, drying, and recoating
- Long service life with proper adhesive maintenance
This design ensures reliable performance in harsh shipboard environments where moisture, vibration, and airborne debris are constant concerns.
Typical Applications
Airsan Navy Air Filters are used upstream of a wide range of onboard systems, including:
- Cooling coils
- CBR (Chemical, Biological, Radiological) filtration systems
- HEPA filters
- Flame arresters
- (Flame arrestors require metallic Navy-standard filters)
- Specialized ventilation and environmental systems
Their role as a pre-filter helps protect sensitive downstream components, maintain proper airflow, and reduce system maintenance.
Maintenance & Recoating Requirements
After use, Navy-standard filters should be:
- Washed thoroughly
- Rinsed completely
- Allowed to dry
- Re-coated with a thin layer of filter adhesive
- (Except in certain older ship commissary applications where grease filters should not be coated)
A light adhesive application is required on the inlet side of the filtering media to ensure dust, lint, and particulate adhere properly during operation.
Key Benefits
- Compliant with U.S. military filtration specifications
- Reusable, cleanable, and cost-effective over long service life
- High-velocity particulate capture for demanding naval environments
- Protects downstream systems from contamination and clogging
- Rugged metal construction withstands shipboard vibration and shock
