Life Cycle Cost Determines
Best Overall Air Filter Value

Camfil Farr has the industry’s best tools to calculate
the true life cycle cost of filtration, and help you
choose the best overall air filter. 

Our LCC Life Cycle Cost software program takes into
account factors, such as installation issues, duct condition, change-out, energy consumption, purchase price, maintenance costs and disposal.  In well-defined steps,
we can optimize the performance of prefilters and
final filters, and achieve the best overall air filter
value for every application.

Camfil Farr’s LCC software calculates the precise
Life Cycle Cost for a specific filter, (ours or a
competitor’s) in any given AHU.  The program
adjusts to accommodate real-world outdoor air
characteristics, and hours of operation and fan
efficiency, as well as costs for filters, labor,
disposal, and energy.

Results are provided as numerical data and easy
to ready graphics. Users can also experiment with
various “what if” scenarios, including changing filter
efficiencies or hours of operation and other parameters.
Users of this advanced, innovative tool have applied the
resultant data and saved 40% and more on air quality
expenditures for their HVAC systems

One of the most important benefits of the LCC tool is
that it indicates where the costs related to air filtration
truly are.  It is not the purchase cost of the filters
that’s important, (that’s typically just 6% of the total)
but energy required for filters to operate. (often about
70% of the total.)   Energy use correlates strongly
with pressure drop: the less drop, the less cost.
