ULPA FILTER: Ultra Low Penetration Air Filter designed to be 99.997% efficient on 0.3 micron particles when clean.

UNBALANCE: The condition of a rotor in which its rotation results in centrifugal force being applied to the rotor’s supporting bearings.

UNDUCTED: System consisting of one or more air cleaners positioned in the overhead space to create a planned air circulation pattern. This method effectively cleans the overall ambient plant air. Unducted systems rely upon constant cleaning and mixing of the entire room volume to remove airborne contaminants. Unducted systems never remove 100% of the contaminants. The objective of this method is to achieve a substantial reduction in steady-state contaminant concentration.

UNICELL: Combination of an ionizer and collection cell in a single assembly in a SMOG-HOG electrostatic precipitator.

UNIFORM FLOW: Airflow in which velocities between any two given points remain fairly constant.

UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: The upper limit of flammability or combustibility of a gas or vapor expressed in percent of gas or vapor, in air, by volume.
