ABSTRACT:
The air filtering apparatus has a perimeter mounting frame for placement within a grid opening of a ceiling structure. Within the mounting frame is a filter cartridge having upper and lower surfaces. Each such surface has a perimeter border area. An upper assembly is removably fastened to the perimeter mounting frame and includes a plenum perimeter wall having a lower edge for pressing downwardly to form a seal impervious to air along the perimeter border area on the upper surface of the filter cartridge. A lower assembly is removably fastened to the perimeter mounting frame for pressing upwardly against at least a portion of the perimeter border area on the lower surface of the filter cartridge. Either the upper assembly or the lower assembly may be removed to permit filter cartridge replacement either from above or below the perimeter mounting frame without removing the perimeter mounting frame from the grid opening of the ceiling structure.
