Filter Rittal SK 3286.540 — aluminium housing, single unit

Rittal SK 3286.540 is an industrial-grade aluminium housing filter supplied as a single unit for compatible chiller and HVAC equipment. The component is made from corrosion-resistant aluminium, designed to provide durable metal filtration in systems where washable, reusable filters are preferred. The unit is intended for straightforward replacement and maintenance in environments with dusty or oily ambient air.

Advantages

The aluminium construction delivers resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear while remaining lightweight compared with heavier metal alternatives. As a washable metal filter, it allows simple cleaning with water or grease-dissolving detergents when particles adhere to the metal after condensation or heavy airborne contamination. Supplied as a single complete unit, it simplifies inventory management and replacement procedures for maintenance personnel.

Suitable for

• Chiller units and HVAC systems that accept metal housing filters
• Industrial or workshop environments with dusty or oily ambient air
• Applications where washable, reusable filtration elements are required

Когда он может не подойти

This aluminium metal filter may not be suitable for applications requiring high-efficiency particulate filtration (such as HEPA-level filtration) or for systems specifically designed for disposable or non-metal filter media. It is not intended as a primary filter for removing molecular contaminants, gases, or odors.

Key specifications

• Housing material: corrosion-resistant aluminium
• Supply form: single unit (one piece)
• Filter type: washable metal filter suitable for mechanical particle capture

How to use

Install the Rittal SK 3286.540 into the compatible filter slot of the chiller or HVAC unit following the equipment manufacturer's installation guidance. For routine maintenance, remove the filter and clean with water or a suitable grease-dissolving detergent when particles have adhered to the metal surfaces. Allow the filter to dry fully before reinstalling to prevent corrosion of mating components and to avoid introducing moisture into the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify physical compatibility with your chiller or HVAC model and the filter mounting dimensions
• Confirm that a washable metal filter meets your facility's required particulate removal efficiency
• Assess maintenance capability for cleaning and drying the metal filter on a regular schedule

Usage recommendations

For best results in dusty or oily environments, inspect the metal filter regularly and clean it before heavy particle loading occurs. Use warm water and an appropriate degreasing detergent for oily deposits, rinse thoroughly, and ensure complete drying before reinstalling to maintain airflow performance and corrosion resistance.
