CONVENTIONAL HEPA FILTERS (0.3 ยต) :-
Conventional HEPA
(High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are the gold standard for high-purity air
filtration in HVAC systems, designed to capture at least 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3
microns. Often referred to as "deep-pleated" or "box-type" filters, they are built for
durability and high dust-holding capacity in demanding environments.
Key Benefits
-
Exceptional Air Purity: Removes allergens, mold spores, soot,
and sub-micron particles that standard filters miss.
-
High Dust Holding Capacity: The deep-pleat design allows for a
longer service life (typically 1โ5 years depending on the environment) compared
to thinner filters.
- Pathogen Control: Highly effective at capturing virus-sized
particles (around 0.1 microns) through mechanisms like diffusion and
interception.
Technical Specifications
-
Filtration Efficiency:
- Standard HEPA: Traps ≥ 99.97% of particles at 0.3 µm
(MPPS).
- Medical Grade (H13/H14): H13 offers ≥ 99.995% efficiency,
while H14 reaches ≥ 99.9995%, providing a 10x higher retention rate.
-
Filter Media: Dense mat of borosilicate glass microfibers in a
random web pattern.
-
Construction: Deep pleats (6โ12") with corrugated aluminium or
paper spacers.
-
Frame Materials: Options include Aluminium Alloy or Stainless
Steel.
- Sealing: Polyurethane (PU), Neoprene, or Gel-seal gaskets to
prevent "air bypass".
COMMON APPLICATIONS
๐ฅ Healthcare
Critical for operating rooms,
isolation wards, and ICUs to eliminate airborne pathogens like bacteria and
viruses.
๐ญ Industrial Manufacturing
Essential in semiconductor
fabrication, pharmaceutical labs, and aerospace assembly to protect sensitive
processes.
๐จ Specialized HVAC
Integrated into AHUs for labs and
cleanrooms, following pre-filters (MERV 8-13) to extend the HEPA's lifespan.
