Cabin Air Filters Purolator Facet's ever-expanding line of cabin air recirculation filters for commercial aircraft is designed to efficiently remove typical contaminants…and in the process, provide a measure of protection to both passengers and crew.Recently, trends in design and operation minimize the introduction of outside air into the cabin. This is principally because outside air must first be pressurized through the engines, and this "bleeding" of air reduces efficiency and increases fuel consumption. For this reason, a higher ratio of "captive" cabin air is being recirculated. The tradeoff for fuel cost savings is that people aboard the craft are subjected to more particulate pollutants as well as viruses and bacteria. Because of the confined atmosphere, low humidity conditions, reduced oxygen level, fatigued/jet lagged passengers and many other factors, potential ill-effects from airborne contaminants is far greater in this environment.
FAA/PMA Approved Filters(Purolator Facet)
Electronic Equipment Cooling Filters Purolator Facet's E/E cooling filters are designed to satisfy the stringent requirements of aircraft manufacturers by removing harmful contaminants from the cooling air used to maintain today's high-tech avionics equipment.Presently Purolator offers an FAA-PMA approved replacement filter for popular versions of Boeing 737 and Boeing 757 series aircraft. Additional filters are in development and approval stages.
Filter Element Assemblies Purolator Facet filter element assemblies have been used by the aerospace industry for over 50 years. Our experience in the design, testing and manufacturing of these products is proven daily with their use aboard most aerospace applications. Purolator Facet offers a range of products qualified to Mil-F-5504. MICROFIL®: Impregnated Composite Fiber Pleated Filters.Microfil filter elements consist of a multiple-layer composite of organic and inorganic materials. Each layer is selected to perform a specific function (ie., high dirt-holding retention, fine filtration and upstream layer support). Microfil filter elements are designed to provide optimal filtration performance in ranges of 1 to 100 micrometres absolute even under extreme operating conditions.
Operating in temperature ranges of -65 degrees F to +375 degrees F and at operating pressures of up to 4500 psid, Microfil filter elements are compatible with most fuel, lubrication oils and hydraulic fluids used in today's complex aerospace systems. Microfil elements offer:
- High Filtration Efficiency, Beta Ratio
- Absolute Filtration Ratings
- Suitability for All Types of Operating Fluids
- High Pressure Applications
- Excellent Dirt Holding Capacity
- High Temperature Applications
- Disposability
MICROPLEAT®: Impregnated Cellulose Pleated Filters.Micropleat filter elements offer a cost effective means for the utilization of a non-cleanable filter element in most hydraulic and fuel applications. Micropleat elements are designed to provide optimum dirt holding capacity and particulate removal in the 3, 5, 10, 20 and 40 micrometer range. Micropleat is suitable for operation in temperatures of -65 degrees F to +275 degrees F. Elements can be designed to withstand up to 500 psid with high flow fatigue cycles without deformation.

Purolator Facet has a full line of Micropleat filter elements qualified to meet the requirements of MIL-F-5504 and in industry standard sizes of AN6235 and AN6236 series. Micropleat filter elements offer:
- Low Cost, Disposable Filter Element Designs
- Suitablity for Most Fluid Applications
- Numerous Filtration Ratings Available
- Proven Filtration History
