The RU is uniquely designed to accommodate and securely seal AAF’s
gas-phase chemical filter cassettes. Each housing incorporates AAF’s
patent-pending filter sealing system to ensure that the contaminated air
passes through the filter and does not by-pass around the filters. Typical
details of the tracks are shown in these illustrations. In some instances,
depending on the equipment supplied and the filters required, minor
track details may differ from those shown.
2" Prefilter track
Galvanized steel

Track connection detail at support beam. This detail shows AAF’s “quick release” track
installation method. Accurately located support post holes ensure high tolerance track
spacing. Note that the track connection is completely isolated from the filter sealing
surface and cannot interfere with filter installation.
