HVAC localized air filter assembly system

A room ventilation filtration system for capturing particulate matter in conjunction with a conventional forced air heating, ventilation and cooling system, comprising:

• at least one frame assembly positionable over a heating ventilation and cooling (HVAC) duct, said frame assembly having a front wall and a perimeter wall extending from said front wall, said front wall having at least one opening for facilitating airflow through said frame assembly;
• at least one filter assembly positionable within said frame assembly, said filter assembly being adapted for capturing particulate matter in ambient air being conducted through said HVAC duct;
• wherein said perimeter wall further comprises an opening for facilitating slideably inserting and removing said filter assembly from said frame assembly;
• wherein said frame assembly further comprises a louver assembly operationally coupled to said perimeter wall, said louver assembly being positioned opposite said front wall whereby said filter assembly is positionable between said front wall and said louver assembly, said louver assembly being for selectively inhibiting airflow through said frame assembly;
• wherein said louver assembly further comprises:
• a plurality of louver members operationally coupled to said frame assembly, each one of said louver members being pivotally movable between an open position and a closed position, said open position being defined by a front surface of said louver member being substantially perpendicular to said front wall, said closed position being defined by said front surface being substantially parallel to said front wall;
• a louver actuator extending through said frame assembly, said louver actuator facilitating pivoting said plurality of louvers between said open and said closed position, said louver actuator being operationally coupled to said plurality of louver members;
• wherein said front wall having a plurality of grate members extending along said opening, said plurality of grate members protecting said filter assembly from abrasion, said plurality of grate members inhibiting visual observance of said filter assembly;
• wherein said frame assembly includes at least one keyway for facilitating mating with said filter assembly;
• and
• wherein said filter assembly includes at least one key portion for facilitating mating with said frame assembly, said key portion being slideably received by said keyway, said key and keyway insuring proper orientation of said filter assembly within said frame assembly;
• a monitoring assembly, positioned within said frame assembly, said monitoring assembly monitoring static pressure behind said filter assembly, said monitoring assembly detecting when said filter assembly has collected enough particulate matter that operational efficiency of the HVAC system is being impeded and said filter assembly should be replaced;
• and
• an alarm assembly operationally coupled to said monitoring assembly, said alarm assembly providing a user detectable signal that said filter assembly should be replaced.
