Choosing the right air filter is very important to maintain clean indoor air cleanliness.
1. The filtration area refers to the expansion area of the filter material in the filter. The large filtration area can hold more dust. At the same time, the rate of airflow passing through the material is reduced, the wind resistance is reduced, and the use time of the filter is prolonged. However, the size of the filtration area does not affect the filtration efficiency of the filter. For filters with the same structure and the same filter material, when the final resistance is constant, the filter area is increased by 1 times, and the use time of the filter is about 3 times of the original. To increase the filter area, it is necessary to fully consider the structure of the filter, such as a bag filter, which can generally increase the number of filter bags and the length of the filter bag; while the traditional separator filter, generally reduce the separator spacing and increase the number of filter paper pleats The way. For the end filter of the clean room, the purpose of increasing the filter area is to extend its service life, but does not change its rated air volume. Under the condition of constant rated air volume, the initial resistance of the filter will be reduced when the filter area is increased, and the energy consumption of the air conditioning system will be reduced. Therefore, although increasing the filter area will increase some procurement costs, it can effectively extend the service life of the filter and reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner. For users, the cost performance will be improved.
2. Dust holding capacity
Dust holding capacity refers to the total weight of artificial dust captured when the tested filter reaches the final resistance under the rated air volume, and the unit is grams (g). The service life of the air filter will be increased with the provision of dust holding capacity, and a series of troubles and risks such as replacement, storage and transportation will be reduced. Choosing a filter with a large dust capacity can effectively extend the service life of the filter and reduce maintenance costs. For users, the cost performance is improved.
