demotf@potsdam.edu Do you have anything in writing on when or how often filters should be replaced?

The document does not specify how often filters should be replaced on a McQuay Vision CA Series model in a school setting. It only mentions typical pressure drops and how to remove and install filters. Filter replacement frequency would depend on operating conditions and pressure drop readings.
