14. Storage recommendations for particle filters
During storage do not expose the particle filters to extreme temperature or humidity, for example near a heat source, air condi-
tioning or direct sunlight. Heat and cold have a negative effect on the properties of the particle filter, especially after removing or
opening the bag packaging.
The particle filter must not be exposed to frost, as this can cause damage to the microstructure of the filter, which impairs the func-
tionality of the particle filter.
• Store dry at 60-65% relative humidity
• Room temperature 24°C ± 5°C (78°F ± 40°F)
• Do NOT put weight on pallets
• Avoid sudden temperature changes
• Store in the cardboard packaging in sealed bag
• Maximum height of the filter stack 185cm (6 ft)
Under observance of the above conditions, the storage period will be 3 years.
