Crypto miners who operate air-cooled mining pods have to protect their equipment and their bottom line. Proper ventilation is crucial to prevent overheating and downtime. When deciding on the right outdoor air intake filter for a unit, it is essential to balance filtration efficiency and airflow resistance to maximize performance and longevity.

Filter Efficiency vs. Airflow Resistance

A filter with too high efficiency will increase airflow resistance and cause the HVAC system to use more energy. This increases your energy bills and operating costs associated with maintaining your HVAC system.

A filter with too low efficiency will not stop the large harmful particulate from entering your building and will risk clogging your equipment. This increases the chances of costly downtime and machinery maintenance.

The solution: Our washable air filters provide optimal pre-filtration at a very low airflow resistance.

Solution: Reusable Air Filters for Air-Cooled Crypto Mining Units

The EC Series washable electrostatic filter will help remove large airborne particulate and moisture, reducing the exposure of your equipment to the outdoor elements. Product highlights include:

• MERV 5 – MERV 8 Efficiency – Great for large particulate.
• Low 0.14″ W.G. Initial Airflow Resistance – 4″ Filters flow better.
• Washable and Reusable – Maximize the value of your filtration investment.

Low-Resistance Air Filtration

Low-Resistance Filters are specifically designed for low resistance or high airflow applications. These filters are engineered to provide basic pre-filtration while minimizing the impact on airflow. They often have a lower MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating, which means they may not capture extremely fine particles as effectively as high efficiency and HEPA filters, but they will provide adequate filtration for mining environments that want to protect against large airborne particulates.

Regular Maintenance Required

Whichever filter you choose, be diligent about maintaining it. Regularly clean or replace the filter to ensure it doesn’t become clogged, which can significantly reduce airflow efficiency. With proper maintenance, your washable filter could last several months to years depending on the environment and cleaning routine.
