Abstract: A replacement filter deployed within a flow channel with a housing having a first of two or more frame members and a second of two or more frame members that are detachable with an exposure slot formed within the housing. A filter media storage area is within the housing, having unexposed, folded, pleated filter media stored therein. The unexposed folded, pleated filter media is compactly held within the filter media storage area. A motor is coupled to a power supply and in communication with a controller. The motor moving a movement member that advances an unexposed portion of the stacked pleated filter media into the exposure slot, expanding and exposing the unexposed portion of the media to the flow channel while retaining pleats and creating an exposed portion of the filter media. A containment area is provided where the exposed portion of the pleated filter media is collected folded, restacked and compactly stored and retained.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a direct replacement air handler filter that is placed within an air flow channel within an air handler unit having a unitary housing comprised of at least one of an environmentally friendly plastic, cellulose, cardboard, paper or similar material with a uniform thickness throughout its length and width and having an exposure slot there through. The unitary housing being sealed throughout to prevent opening of the unitary housing by a user and containing a motor coupled to a lithium ion battery power source. The motor being in communication with a controller having an at least one sensor input or a timer. A filter media storage area can be located on one end of the unitary housing, with a pleated, folded filter media folded and compactly stored inside the filter media storage area, and an exposed filter media containment area located on an opposed end within the unitary housing with the filter media extending therebetween. The filter media being paid out from the filter media storage area across the housing where it is exposed to air within the air flow channel and removes contaminants from the air and is further passed through a seal that seals the containment area where the filter media is re-folded, collected, and compactly stored with the filtered contaminants. The motor can be activated by said controller in response to input from the at least one sensor or based on a timed input from said timer and rotate an at least one movement member to move the filter media across the exposure area.
