Dürr Universal Silencers — Air Filtration

Panel Filters

FH · FSH · BFH · FRH Series — Filters & Filter-Silencers

Dürr Universal Silencers offers both filters and filter-silencers featuring a variety of 20" × 25" × 2" panel-style filter elements. Filter media types are selected based on the application's efficiency and dirt-holding capacity requirements. The W-2, DD-2, and P-II panel filters are lightweight, easy to clean, and ideally used with single or multistage FH, FRH, and BFH combination silencer-filters. The FH and FSH series filters and filter-silencers are ideal for centrifugal blowers and gas turbines.

Filter Series

FH / FSH SeriesFilter & Filter-SilencerIncludes Silencer

The FH (Filter House) and FSH (Filter-Silencer House) series are the primary panel filter products for centrifugal blowers and gas turbines. The FSH series integrates a silencer section with the filter housing, providing both inlet air filtration and noise attenuation in a single unit. Ideal for applications where both filtration and noise control are required.

Best for: Centrifugal blowers, gas turbines, combined filter-silencer applications

BFH SeriesCombination Silencer-FilterIncludes Silencer

The BFH (Blower Filter House) series is a combination silencer-filter designed for single or multistage blower applications. Used with W-2, DD-2, and P-II panel filter elements. The lightweight panel elements are easy to clean and replace, reducing maintenance time and cost.

Best for: Single and multistage blowers, applications requiring easy filter maintenance

FRH SeriesReplacement Filter Housing

The FRH series provides a replacement housing for existing filter installations where the original housing has reached end of life or requires upgrading. Compatible with standard 20" × 25" × 2" panel filter elements.

Best for: Retrofit and replacement applications, existing filter house upgrades

Filter Media Types

Pleated Cellulose (Paper)P-II

Pleated cellulose media provides the highest filtration efficiency of the panel filter media types. Recommended for gas turbines and applications where compressor blade protection is critical. Single-use; replace when pressure drop reaches limit.
