DATA CENTERS - AIRSIDE FILTRATION
Keep Airborne Contamination Out of Critical Cooling Paths.
King helps data center teams source the air filters and replacement elements that protect AHUs, CRAHs, CRACs, fan walls, coils, and sensitive equipment from dust, debris, and airborne contaminants.
Keep Cooling Air Clean
Protect coils, fans, dampers, and recirculation paths.
Find the Right Air Filter
Source replacements for AHUs, CRAHs, CRACs, and fan walls.
Fit the Airside System
Match MERV rating, media, airflow, pressure drop, and housing.
From Outdoor Air Intake to the Data Hall
A simplified look at how airside filtration supports critical cooling systems as air moves through the facility.

Why Filtration Matters
What King Can Help Source
1
Outdoor Air Intake
Stops dust, debris, and outdoor particulate before it reaches downstream air handling equipment.
Prefilters, pleated panel filters, intake filters.
2
Make-Up Air / Economizer Paths
Conditions incoming outdoor air introduced through dedicated make-up air units or as an AHU inlet. Used for ventilation, pressurization, and economizer cooling.
Pleated filters, high-efficiency filters, carbon or mixed-media filters.
3
AHUs & Filter Banks
Protects coils, fans, dampers, and downstream systems from buildup that can restrict airflow.
Pleated panel filters, bag filters, cartridge filters
4
CRAHs / CRACs
Helps keep room cooling units clean so coils, sensors, and airflow paths can perform reliably.
Pleated filters, cartridge filters, compact filters, specialty filters.
5
Fan Walls / Recirculation Systems
Maintains clean, filtered airflow as internal air moves through critical cooling paths.
Pleated filters, bag filters, high-efficiency filters.
6
Supply to Data Hall / White Space
Delivers cleaner, conditioned air to the IT environment where equipment reliability matters most.
Final-stage filters, high-efficiency filters, specialty media where required.
